Achievements in October:

Complete Department overhaul gearing up the department for more effective management of case load and investigation. Successfully dealt with the legal crisis around the severely lacking laws in the financial sector in a way that has not caused the crash of the sector while still highlighting the failings. We have opened a large number of investigations into criminal actions both in the financial sector, business and into political corruption. We are making strides and citizens can expect more results in the coming weeks.

Goals for November:
We plan to resolve the ongoing Constitutional Crisis between the Courts and the Speaker of the House, acting as a mediator from hereon in and hope that the issue is resolved in a manor that is acceptable for all and adheres to the law. Furthermore we plan to further expand our investigative abilities in order to give the DLA more tools and resources to tackle crimes and lock up the guilty.

There has been quite a lot of stuff coming from the DLA recently, I plan as AG to continue my transparency polices and will always seek to hold press conferences, like our previous one, whenever I feel the public have a right to be informed.
