The Director of Public Prosecutions, Justice Jane Frances Abodo has issued a strong warning to the criminals saying that even if it takes how long to have them arrested, they will have their day in Court.
Justice Abodo who was yesterday addressing journalists at her office in Kampala ahead of the 7th Joan Kagezi Namazzi Annual Memorial Lecture, said a criminal can run but cannot hide from prosecution and that while investigations can take longer than expected, once narrowed down, an accused person will be arrested, and prosecuted.
The Chief Prosecutor Abodo said that next week as they are wiping their tears of losing Kagezi in the Lecture and also attending the Prosecutors’ Symposium, hearings of all criminal cases will not take place in the courts of law.
She said the Prosecutors Symposium will help them discuss ways on how they should move forward with the prosecution of cases in the 21st century where they are dealing with well-connected, wealthy, sophisticated and influential criminals where technology also keeps changing.

She said they will also be brainstorming on how to enforce the punishments provided for in law to build an economy free of impunity by criminals. END
