    "content": "Hon. Speaker, when it comes to allocation to the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) we have many people behind bars who are not even criminals. They are innocent but because of the poor investigation that has been done by the people in the office of the DPP, maybe because they do not have the capacity, competence and proper training, you find these people are behind bars. So, we should have awarded more money to the office of the DPP because this office plays a very critical role as far as fighting crime is concerned. So, it is important that this DPP office be enhanced, strengthened and given more money to hire enough lawyers with competence in investigations. Hon. Speaker, we have had cases of people wanting to settle political scores using shoddy ways of investigation. Therefore, at a later stage, we will propose that the Committee gives more money to the DPP. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
