Separating the AG from the PP


In the event that the government does not wish to separate the Attorney General from the Public Prosecutor, a middle path is possible.

THE Federal Constitution combines the great offices of the Attorney General (AG) and Public Prosecutor (PP). This was a serious misjudgment by the Reid Commission that drafted our Constitution in 1957, and its inimical effect on the rule of law has elicited learned proposals for reform from the Bar Council, Transparency International, Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs (IDEAS), and the Institutional Reform Committee.
