Government has released a new salary structure for the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), and in the new proposal, the DPP Mike Chibita Wa’Duallo will earn Shs26.5 million as basic pay and Shs10 million as monthly allowance.
The Deputy DPP Amos Ngolobe is to earn Shs24.5 million as monthly salary while Shs9.5 million has been earmarked as his monthly allowance.
The across-the-board increment in the salaries of the state prosecutors is a result of the strike by junior prosecutors who recently demanded a pay rise.
The low rank prosecutors have been earning Shs500, 000 as basic pay and this prompted them to go on strike.
However, in the new proposal, State Prosecutors will now earn Shs3.5m and Shs1.4m as monthly allowance.
