Africa-Press – Angola. The Attorney General of the Republic, Hélder Pitta Groz, demanded, this Tuesday, the public prosecutors (MP) to be increasingly active in the fight against crimes of corruption.
Pitta Groz was speaking at the opening ceremony of the III Training Course for Deputy Attorneys General of the Republic, which includes the participation of members of the judiciary of the Public Ministry of Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique.
“We still have a lot to improve, we have to continue this fight in a very intense way, improve working conditions and the training of magistrates”, he stressed.
According to Pitta Groz, the PGR has to be more ambitious. “We should never settle for what we have, if we don’t end up stagnating. Since we don’t want stagnation, we have to be ambitious and demand more and more”.
He informed that the body is committed to increasing its human resources, emphasizing that, in this regard, this year the National Institute of Judicial Studies (INEJ) will launch more than 300 magistrates to the market.
“It is the year in which more magistrates were formed and we believe that, if we continue on this path, within five years we will be able to have a reasonable number of magistrates for our needs”, he referred.
Regarding the training course opened this Tuesday, he said that it will serve for the promotion of sub-attorneys.
“One of the promotion criteria will be the evaluation of this training”, said Pitta Groz, who confirmed that there are judges who have been in the same jurisdiction for over 20 years.
In his view, due to the fact that the judiciary is transversal to the entire justice system, at all stages of the process, the public prosecutor must be prepared to work in any area (crime, family, civil, among others).
Pitta Groz announced that, during this month, the new building of the Attorney General’s Office will be inaugurated.
