New NDPP Batohi fights govt over decent salaries for senior prosecutors
6 February 2017
After fighting for salary increases and benefits for more than 10 years, deputy directors of public prosecutions seem to have found an ally in their new boss and National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP), Shamila Batohi.
Some reportedly earn significantly less than their subordinates.
Batohi took over the reins at the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) on February 1.
According to The Citizen, Batohi sent a letter to the state attorney on Tuesday stating that her office would no longer oppose an application by the Public Servants' Association aimed at forcing the NPA to improve the salaries of deputy directors of public prosecutions and chief prosecutors.
