Thank you, Chairperson. Minister, you did not specifically refer to the position in the NPA. According to their annual report the vacancy for advocates is 33,2%, for interpreters 75%, and for prosecutors 22,1%. This has an adverse effect on the administration of justice, as can be seen from the lower conviction rates. In special courts, it has decreased from 70% to 65%.
My question is: To solve a problem, one has to know why it exists. What is being done to find out why we have these vacancies? You mentioned in your whole department 12% but in the NPA it is up to 75% in certain cases. Thank you.
