She further appreciated HTI and Tyler for training Prosecutors and Investigators in the area of prevention of trafficking in persons, and provision of resource materials which has increased the charging rate of suspects to over 400%. As a result, she said, the ODPP is now a benchmark in the fight against human trafficking in other jurisdictions.
The motor vehicle was later handed over to Assistant DPP Racheal Bihkole, Head of the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Division
