In recent years, the Ministry of Justice has revealed that many elite prosecutors have left. This year, it is confirmed that 15 prosecutors will be transferred to judges, and another 17 prosecutors have decided to resign to work in the private sector. 32 people have left in half a year, a record high in history. In this regard, the Ministry of Justice stated on the 9th that it is well aware of the heavy workload of prosecutors and has actively sought relevant resources to improve the working environment of prosecutors.

Minister of Justice Tsai Ching Siong said in 2022 that he would respect and bless those who are leaving, but more importantly, cherish the prosecutors who are willing to stay and fight, “because they don’t follow the crowd and don’t pursue money and power.” But this remark obviously did not comfort As a result, since January 2023, 15 prosecutors have been transferred to judges, 17 have decided to resign and go to private jobs, and 32 people have left in half a year, a record high in history. In addition to 23 people retiring, there will be at least 55 more prosecutors this year. Official vacancies.

In this regard, Liu Jianguo, a legislator who has been concerned regarding labor issues for a long time, said in 2022 that the Ministry of Justice is the most just ministry, like a sun shining on Taiwan, sweeping away the darkness in Taiwan. There are nearly 50 prosecutors who have transferred to judges and left their posts. Among them, from the second half of 2021 to 2022, at least 7 heavyweight young prosecutors choose to switch tracks. He pointed out that some prosecutors complained regarding “didn’t go home for two weeks while handling the case”, “working on the case except sleeping” and “poor quality of handling the case”, etc. Such an obviously poor working environment, is it true that the prosecutor’s resignation is as the minister thinks Is it regarding money?

Liu Jianguo also pointed out that Minister of Justice Cai Qingxiang said that “the value of life is not measured purely by money”, but there are many things in life that money cannot buy, especially health cannot be bought with more money. Salary, more importantly workplace safety, and improved working conditions. He questioned, when the society attaches great importance to labor rights and hopes to keep laborers healthy physically and mentally as much as possible, can the procuratorial system ensure the physical and mental health of employees? The clerks and bailiffs all face harsh working conditions. Some clerks joked that they were “prosecutor nanny”, and the vacancies were not fully filled.

Some director-level prosecutors also pointed to the core of the problem, saying that there will be news of job changes or job-hopping in various industries. However, due to changes in the working environment in the procuratorial circle in recent years, although the administrative department has been calling for help to reduce the pressure on the caseload, in fact, the procuratorates in various places accept cases. The volume and frequency have reached a new high, and the local prosecutor’s office has adjusted the pipeline of the high-level prosecutor’s office to a two-year and three-year training path. After the expiration of the period, they still have to return to the local prosecutor’s office to serve as a Yangchun prosecutor, so many people can’t see their jobs. feel powerless regarding the future of life.

In this regard, the Ministry of Justice also responded on the 9th that prosecutors are guardians of the rule of law and public welfare representatives, and are responsible for investigating crimes, conducting public prosecutions, supervising judgments, and realizing the state’s power to punish. All prosecutors are still conscientious and stick to their posts when the resources of the court are not equal, the number of criminal cases is increasing, and the investigation is facing severe challenges. The headquarters expresses its highest gratitude and respect.

The Ministry of Justice is well aware of the heavy workload of prosecutors, and has actively sought relevant resources. It has made efforts to improve the working environment of prosecutors in terms of systems, laws, and administration. It has now proposed to the Executive Yuan a “medium-term manpower supplement plan in response to judicial reform.” “, 600 additional budgetary posts were approved in four years, and the auxiliary manpower was increased year by year to reduce the workload of prosecutors.

In response to the Executive Yuan’s “Fraud Fighting Strategy Action Plan Version 1.5” project, the Ministry of Justice also proposed to use a policy of 100 prosecutor assistants to strengthen the investigation support manpower, so that prosecutors can concentrate on investigating major cases and avoid excessive telecommunications fraud cases from affecting the investigation. As far as possible, we will continue to actively ask the Executive Yuan for additional manpower and funds, and discuss and amend supporting laws and regulations, so as to legalize the prosecutor assistant mechanism and strengthen the combat effectiveness of the investigation team.

The Ministry of Justice pointed out that in order to help reduce the prosecutor’s case load and investigation labor costs, the use of task groups such as the “Case Review Center” and “Trial Mediation Center” will be strengthened in the future, so that reconsideration cases will be reduced and sent back, prosecutorial documents will be simplified, and minor cases will be implemented. The internal staff of the case were interrogated by videoconference but were not released.

The Ministry of Justice stated that it will continue to activate the personnel experience and promotion mechanism of the procuratorate, actively request for additional posts and funds, and improve a reasonable working environment to effectively adjust the procuratorial manpower so that outstanding prosecutors with rich experience in handling cases will have no worries. Let us work together to protect the rights and interests of the people and safeguard the fairness and justice of the country and society.
