DPP’s chambers to host public outreach in Region 7

The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions will hold a two-day outreach programme to Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni) on May 24 and 25 to meet with residents in Bartica and surrounding communities.
The sensitisation programme is aimed at increasing public awareness about the works and functions of the DPP’s Chambers.
Communications Officer Liz Rahaman and a State Counsel will meet residents, who have concerns about pending criminal matters and those desirous of filing their complaints with the DPP.
On Wednesday, the team will be at the boardroom of the regional administration building from 09:30h to 16:30h and on Thursday, from 09:00h to 13:00h.
The officers will also host a live half-hour call-in television programme on Wednesday evening from 19:00h on the Tarzie Television Station.
The DPP chambers in a release stated that the focus was to extend its service to people who live in the outlying regions who may need guidance and assistance with matters of a criminal nature and who do not know where to go to seek redress, or they simply cannot afford to visit the office to seek assistance.
