The United Nations Development Program in Lakes State has concluded a second rule of law forum in Rumbek town, focusing on how to prevent wrongful detention and indeterminate detention for failure to pay compensation.

Addressing the forum, the Director General of the State Ministry of Local Government and Law Enforcement, Enock Manyuon, emphasized that the functions of the police, prison, and traditional authorities are of concern to his ministry.

Mr. Manyoun said that if justice is implemented through the right procedures then rule of law is in place.

Second Grade Judge Luka Ajok Kedit blamed the police and civil authorities for interfering in the work of the Judiciary.

He said that the police has been distributing criminal cases and settling them and calls for a halt to such practices that are against the judicial system.
