Delayed enactment of witness protection act - DPP says it’s hindering justice and speedy trials

The Directorate of Public Prosecution has, on several occasions, advocated for enactment of the witness protection Act. With the absence of the witness protection Act, the DPPs office has cited delays and challenges in prosecuting cases, especially those which are capital in nature, international and organised crimes, among others. And as we hear from our reporter, Deborah Namamonde, with the empowerment of the criminal justice system, legal minds say there's no need to enact the Witness Protection Act in prosecution and handling of cases.
