Increase in court conviction rate: NPA
National Prosecution Authority (NPA) head Shamila Batohi says the conviction rate in the country's courts has increased drastically.

Batohi, who took over the reins midway through this previous financial year, told Members of Parliament that the NPA's performance left a lot to be desired.
She said while they are trying to turn the situation around there is a lack of finances.
She told Parliament they are desperate for funds and have not been able to fill posts as a result.
