A D V S E R U N Y E

A D V S E R U N Y E asserts that if a prosecutorial team struggles to draft an affidavit for a warrant or a charge sheet, it indicates a problem with the evidence and that there was no evidence to support allegations of corruption.

“If you have a case, you have a case. You are not going to struggle with drafting an affidavit to apply for a warrant. And as a prosecutory you are not going to struggle to draft a charge sheet. If you have a case, you have a case... Who corrupted who, how? There was no evidence to support all that.”

A D V S E R U N Y E states that after recusal, questions he raised remained unanswered and that he would have withdrawn the case if the questions had not been answered.

“I recused myself at least a month and a half after getting it, but if I had gone on and those questions were not answered, I would not, I would have withdrawn this case. I would not have prosecuted this case on the basis of the evidence available at the time, unless if all of these questions were answered.”

A D V S E R U N Y E says prosecutors summarize evidence in a docket which is sent to the ID and the Head of Operations who decide if a warrant application should be made.

“They make a presentation to the ID and with the CEO, Head of Operations, the so-called sitting in. So it is at that level where decisions are taken to apply for a warrant... But in the actual engagements with the ID, they must say to her, we are ready. These are the charges that we want to proceed on. Our application for a warrant is ready.”
