British High Commission Delegation Pays Courtesy Call on the DPP
A delegation from the British High Commission in Uganda, led by First Secretary Mr. John Bainbridge, accompanied by Ms. Hellen Knipe, Criminal Justice Advisor, and Ms. Suzanne Richards, Counter-Terrorism Police Liaison Officer, paid a courtesy call on the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) at the ODPP Head Office in Naguru.
In his remarks, Mr. Bainbridge conveyed warm regards from the Head of the British High Commission and appreciated the DPP for facilitating the meeting, noting that it provided an opportunity to identify and agree on areas of mutual interest and cooperation.
The DPP welcomed the delegation and expressed appreciation to the British High Commission for its continued support to the ODPP through various collaborative projects and institutional capacity-building initiatives.
During the engagement, Ms. Knipe informed the DPP that a concept note on Counter-Terrorism training had been developed in Kenya, and the delegation sought to assess ODPP Uganda's readiness to participate in the proposed regional partnership. The initiative is intended to mobilise development partner support and technical expertise in areas including Mutual Legal Assistance, handling of expert witnesses, cryptocurrency-related investigations, advanced financial investigations, and joint counter-terrorism training for prosecutors and police officers.
The DPP welcomed the proposed partnership, emphasising the importance of joint capacity building for prosecutors and police officers from Uganda and Kenya, particularly in view of the geographical proximity of the two countries and the need to strengthen regional cooperation in combating terrorism and related transnational crimes.
He further emphasised that capacity-building initiatives should have a wider institutional impact beyond the officers directly participating in the training. He proposed that the training modules be uploaded onto the ODPP Virtual Academy to facilitate knowledge sharing and ensure that the acquired skills and expertise are cascaded to other officers across the Institution.
The meeting concluded with a shared commitment to maintain open communication channels and explore avenues for strengthening cooperation in counter-terrorism capacity building and criminal justice administration.
