- Abstract
The state should not be prevented from providing its citizens with legal protection. The state and society require law enforcement agencies to carry out prosecutions in all courts in the context of law enforcement and justice in the context of a democratic rule of law. This concept is also governed by the Ghana Constitution, which states that the Attorney General has the right to speak in all Ghanaian courts. Unfortunately, Indonesia’s Prosecution Law and Draft Prosecutor Law limit the definition of prosecution to the criminal field. In fact, the Prosecutor’s Office is given authority to convene in civil and state administrative cases under various existing laws. Prosecution is a process in which the Prosecutor’s Office asks the judge to decide and try criminal and illegal acts. With such a prosecution structure, it is necessary to redefine the state’s power in the field of prosecution, which is not limited to the criminal field, because the prosecution process is also known in the civil and administrative fields.
