Africa-Press – Angola. The proposed law that changes the Organic Law of the Courts of Appeal is ready for the final global vote, after its approval this Thursday, in particular, by the competent committees of the National Assembly (AN).
The Executive’s legislative initiative aims to create a principle of equal remuneration between Public Prosecutor’s Office (MP) magistrates who work in the Courts of Appeal and those outside these courts.
MP magistrates who work at the Courts of Appeal currently have a certain remuneration, contrary to that of their colleagues with the same category in other courts.
It was for this reason that the proponent created this principle of equality for all MP magistrates who are in the same category to receive the same salary, regardless of where they work.
The Proposed Law does not, however, provide for the payment of retroactive salaries, because what this change does is create a principle of equality from the moment the rule is approved.
By the way, the Secretary of State for Justice, Evaristo Solano, ruled out the possibility of paying retroactive payments under the Bill in question, for whom the rule will have its footnote from the date of its publication.
According to the person responsible, despite the Law being previous, this norm, in particular, was published on a later date, hence the emerging rights will not apply to the past, but rather to the future.
“If we have to talk about the retroactivity of the execution of the right in time, this can only exist from the moment the rule comes into force and remuneration is not made”, he assured.
The Proposal that amends the Organic Law of the Courts of Appeal will standardize the remuneration to be attributed to Public Prosecutor’s Office magistrates with the functional category of deputy attorney general of the Republic, regardless of their respective areas of placement.
The objective of the Legislative initiative is to adapt the criterion for attributing the salary of deputy attorneys general of the Republic to that used in defining the remuneration status of magistrates of the Judicial Ministry and the Public Ministry.
It also aims to contribute to greater stability and increased motivational and performance levels within the class of Public Prosecutors, in general, and Deputy Attorneys General of the Republic, in particular.
