HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE ‘STATE ATTORNEY’?.

Jansoni fought with Mataayo and broke his teeth. Jansoni was arrested and taken to court. His uncle told him that ‘their’ Kyazze had a lawyer in the family. So, Jansoni knew he would easily win the case because Mataayo was ‘too poor’ to hire a lawyer. On the day of court, someone showed up calling herself “State Attorney” and Jansoni was told that this was the government lawyer for Mataayo.

Mataayo now thinks someone in government must hate him or else the whole government would not have hired a lawyer for Mataayo who cannot even afford to buy ‘meat’ on Sunday at his home.

WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?.

When you report someone for a crime at police, the police carries out investigations and then sends the case to the government office that deals with taking crimes to court called the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).

At the DPP’s office the police file is received by the officials in that office who assess it to see if there is enough proof (evidence) to take the case to court. These officers are the ones who take this case to court if there is enough proof that a crime was committed, and they are called State Attorneys.

A state attorney is a government lawyer who represents those who have reported and been wronged by a criminal act in court. It does not matter if a person who reported the case at the police is ‘poor’ or ‘rich’ as long as a criminal case is going to court, this government lawyer will represent the person who reported the police case. This is because a crime is a wrong against a person and the government as a whole so the government must make sure that whoever has done this is punished.
