Your conduct must reflect professionalism, integrity, and dedication at all times. The public must have confidence in the services you offer,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Anguzu further warned that any officer found engaging in misconduct would face disciplinary action, noting that accountability remains a key pillar in strengthening the prosecution service.<\/p>\n<p>The induction programme, which brings together 38 newly recruited state attorneys, is intended to equip them with practical skills, legal knowledge, and ethical grounding required in prosecution work.<\/p>\n<p>Officials said the training will also focus on strengthening ethical standards and improving service delivery within the prosecution system, as efforts continue to restore public trust in justice institutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis training is meant to prepare you not only to prosecute cases, but to do so with honesty, fairness, and respect for the law,\u201d Anguzu noted.<\/p>\n<p>The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions says it continues to prioritize discipline and professionalism as part of broader reforms aimed at improving efficiency and credibility within the justice sector.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Uganda<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
