Justice and correctional services minister Ronald Lamola believes the cash-strapped National Prosecuting Authority needs to have more resources so it can recruit middle to senior staff members “as a matter of urgency”.The minister expressed his views during his budget vote speech in parliament on Tuesday. The department has been allocated R21bn for this fiscal year.
Lamola said on Tuesday that “much more needs to be done” to enable the NPA to meet the demands for its services. Care will have to be taken, however, that this does not undermine the independence and integrity of prosecutions. He said the work of transforming the office of the state attorney is ongoing and important given the unprecedented levels of litigation against the state. Some of the known inefficiencies included a shortage of legally trained personnel and the inability of the state to attract competent practitioners.
