ZAMBOANGA CITY -- The City Peace and Oder Council (CPOC) has requested President Rodrigo Duterte, through a resolution, to appoint five new prosecutors for this city.
Mayor Maria Isabelle Climaco-Salazar, CPOC chair, on Friday said the resolution was approved after City Prosecutor Ricardo Cabaron explained the need for additional prosecutors.
Salazar said Cabaron complained about “his office having problems with the disposition of the cases in courts due to inadequate number of prosecutors, thus contributing to the overcrowding of inmates in the city jail.”
She said Cabaron informed the CPOC in a meeting on Tuesday that the applications of five new prosecutors for Zamboanga City had already been submitted to Malacañang since April, but until now the President had not acted on them.
She said the CPOC also approved another resolution, requesting Justice Sec. Vitaliano Aguirre to create the positions for eight additional senior prosecutors for the four newly-created and operationalized regional trial courts. (PNA)
