    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is well captured in Clause 21 Part III of this Bill. It is around the concept of plea bargaining because it gives powers to the DPP to allow people who are under investigations or who have been subjected to lifestyle audit to enter into an agreement with the DPP, so that there can be some deferred prosecution on three things happening. One, Clause 21(2) says that the DPP may, before instituting criminal proceedings against a person who is a subject of a lifestyle audit, invite that person into negotiations for the purpose of entering into a deferred prosecution agreement where; one, there are reasonable grounds of believing that the person has committed an offense that forms the subject matter of the lifestyle audit. Secondly, public interests will be served if the parties enter into a deferred prosecution agreement in accordance with this act. Thirdly, charges with respect to the alleged offence have been drawn against that person."
