Deputy AG rejects OSP claim of collaboration snub, says allegation is false

He said the Attorney-General’s Office had no reason to single out the OSP for a different working relationship from other law enforcement and anti-corruption agencies.

The Supreme Court’s July ruling clarified that the two positions are not necessarily mutually exclusive: the OSP can prosecute under the authority provided by its enabling legislation and the relevant Legislative Instrument, while the Attorney-General retains the constitutional power to discontinue such prosecutions.‘We have no choice’ Asked whether the Attorney-General’s Office would be willing to work with the OSP on cases where collaboration was necessary, Justice Srem-Sai said such cooperation was not a matter of discretion.
