Presidential Office: "We Will Not Discuss Investigation or Prosecution Direction of Individual Cases at Cabinet Meetings"
Published
The Presidential Office officially announced this morning that it will not address any matters related to the investigation or prosecution direction of specific or individual cases during Cabinet meetings.
This announcement appears to be in response to recent controversies raised by political and legal circles regarding potential interference in investigations. The Presidential Office reaffirmed the principle that, as Cabinet meetings are forums for deciding and deliberating on major national policies, it is inappropriate to involve them in investigations or legal procedures concerning specific cases.
A government official explained that this decision is a measure to establish the rule of law and enhance the transparency of state administration. They emphasized that, moving forward, Cabinet meetings will remain focused on their core functions as defined by the Constitution and the law.
The Presidential Office's announcement is drawing attention for its potential impact on the government's future approach to state administration and the independence of judicial procedures. Political circles are watching to see whether this measure will serve as an opportunity to guarantee the independence of the judiciary and the prosecution.
