OUR CORE VALUES
Impartiality
The prosecution is not a vengeful mission; it is rather a mission to present the truth before the court of law as known by the witnesses
Independence
The 1984 Zanzibar Constitution guarantees the independence of the prosecution authority. It is the duty of the prosecutors to uphold the independence by being honest
Fairness
The prosecution should never be turned into persecution. It should never be used to achieve any other end except the end of justice
Effectiveness
Being timely, cooperative, and pursuing each prosecution with necessary zeal to meet the end of justice
Efficiency
Use of resources be prudent and for the intended purpose
Integrity
The personal character of officers working in the DPP’s Office during and after office hours should reflect the judicious nature of the prosecution office
