| ABSTRACT : To strengthen the prosecution arm of the government, the bill seeks to provide additional allowances for the members of the National Prosecution Service (NAPROSS) and the State Counsels of the Department of Justice.

It also provides for the proceeds of such fee increases and new fees to be deposited in a special trust fund to be used by the Secretary of Justice for the benefit of government prosecutors and state counsels.
