Vice President and Flagbearer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has disclosed that the government’s commitment to supporting the Judiciary is still intact.
Speaking at the launch of the LEADing Justice initiative by Chief Justice Gertrude Sackey Torkornoo yesterday, Dr. Bawumia established that the government’s commitment and dedication towards supporting the Judicial system is unwavering.
Dr. Bawumia mentioned that the government will keep putting mechanisms in place to aid in developing and transforming the Judicial system. He also also charged other interested parties to aid in the rapid change within the Judicial system by assisting the Chief Justice.
I assured the Chief Justice of government’s continuous commitment to supporting the Judiciary, and I also urged other stakeholders to support the Chief Justice, in her quest for continuous transformation of the Judicial system.
He revealed that the implementation of other digitalization policies such as the Electronic Case Tracking System and the E- Justice system has greatly impacted the Judicial system and such the introduction of this strategic vision by the Chief Justice which was born out of the idea of digitalization is a great one.
Having launched the Electronic Case Tracking System for the criminal justice sector in 2018 and also witnessing the positive impact the e-justice system, which was launched a year later, is having on the administration of justice, I am delighted that digitalization is a key component of this strategic vision of the Chief Justice.
