PAR faction noted that in recent weeks, in various interviews with the Public Ministry (OM) when receiving complaints and now in the case as important as that of ENNIA that OM declares that it does not have the capacity to investigate. In the PAR faction’s view this cannot be an option and sends an incorrect signal to our people regarding the justice within our country.
With a crime such as a robbery in a supermarket or home if there is capacity to investigate, but in a sufficiently large crime there will be no capacity to investigate and hold those who committed this act responsible. It is a fact that the Minister of Justice is the “police administrator” and therefore responsible for the Political Corps and all the material and capacity required. It is the Minister’s responsibility as Minister of Justice to point out the lack of capacity, to seek to point through all the instruments that are at his disposal for this to be exercised.
The PAR faction is surprised, however, that Minister Hato acknowledges on a Saturday morning, September 9, that lack of capacity cannot be a reason for not coming to investigate, and that the Minister does not take any steps to address this. The investigation of the ENNIA case should be carried out by professionals, following the processes to bring justice to all those harmed. Using art. 96 of the Rules of Order, the PAR faction has the following questions for the Minister of justice:
The Minister may confirm in Parliament that the Minister will make use of the capacity in all his services in accordance with art. 47 police national law to reach the required capacity to conduct the necessary investigations?
Can the Minister confirm to Parliament, that given the case in his services he cannot reach the expertise, that the Minister will make use of the new Protocol signed in 2019 (Stc 2019, 38964) whereby the Minister will petition for capacity and expertise via RST?
The Minister can confirm that the Minister will make use of art. 13 national law OM which gives the Minister the possibility to give General Instruction to the Attorney General to conduct investigations when necessary?
