Rwanda’s Justice Minister, Johnston Busingye, recently disclosed an agreement with Morocco on the implementation of a digital court project in the North African nation, along with other reforms in its judicial system. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed during an official visit to Rwanda by a delegation from the country, led by Moroccan Justice Minister, Mohamed Aujjar. A functioning digital information management and distribution system used by citizens, legal experts and the staff of courts could free up resources and make justice more accessible. “The justice sector in Morocco is going through a huge reform and among the most important elements are building digital court programmes.”Modernizing the operations will improve the efficiency of the legal system. By working more swiftly and transparently, Morocco’s courts will positively impact the way the legal system is perceived in the country, thereby boosting overall public confidence in the judicial arm.
