ODPP Hosts South Sudan Anti-Corruption Commission Delegation for Benchmarking Exercise

The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) today hosted a delegation from the South Sudan Anti-Corruption Commission (SS-ACC), led by Hon. Samuel Jock Bany Mading, the Deputy Board Chairperson of SS-ACC. The delegation is currently in the country for a benchmarking exercise aimed at gaining insights into the investigation and prosecution of corruption and economic crimes cases.

The discussion emphasized the need for a coordinated and concerted approach to tackling corruption, given that such crimes are often transnational in nature. They acknowledged the importance of joint efforts between Kenya and South Sudan to effectively address the menace of corruption in both nations.

The delegation was also introduced to the Uadilifu case management system, a cutting-edge digital solution developed by the ODPP. The system has revolutionized the management of case files, enabling the ODPP to process cases more efficiently and significantly reducing turnaround times.

Additionally, the delegation was briefed on the Mutual Legal Assistance Act, which plays a critical role in facilitating the extradition of fugitives to face charges in the countries where they committed their crimes. The Act also supports the facilitation of witnesses to testify, regardless of their location, further strengthening the fight against corruption and economic crimes.
