The Relation between the Public Prosecutor and the Minister of Justice

The Relation between the Public Prosecutor and the Minister of Justice: "It is also worth noting that there is provision for the government to make a temporary transfer of prosecutorial functions back from the DPP to the Attorney General (Sect. 5 subs. 1 Prosecution of Offences Act, 1974). This transfer can be effected in relation to criminal matters of such kind or kinds as are specified in the transfer order. The government can exercise this power whenever it is of the opinion that it is expedient in the interests of national security to do so. In practice the DPP is the sole public prosecutor in prosecutions on indictment."?
