The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) has three new divisions. The divisions are Judgment Enforcement, Financial and Corporate and International Affairs and Environment divisions. With the new divisions, the office will now be able to restitute funds and compensations timely after the judgment. The office can also recommend the government regarding procurement and related issues and international laws.
The Financial and Corporate division will review the procurement system and tender documents and advise the government on any commercial and financial-related matters. It will also ensure due diligence and effective implementation.
And the Judgment Enforcement division will enforce restitution of funds to the state, compensation to victims and referral of minor substance abusers to rehabilitation centres.
