The Director General may, with the consent of the Public
Prosecutor, compound any offence committed by any person against this Act or any regulations made under this Act by making a written offer, in the form as may be prescribed, to the person reasonably suspected of having committed the offence to compound the offence upon payment to the Director General of an amount of money not exceeding fifty per centum of the amount of maximum fine for that offence within the time specified in the offer.

(3)
Where the offence has been compounded under subsection (1), no prosecution shall be instituted in respect of the offence against the person to whom the offer to compound was made.
