INDUSTRY WATCH
IN ADDITION, WE HAVE ALSO INTRODUCED THE FINGERPRINT
SERVICE FOR VERIFICATION, WHICH HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN
ASSISTING A JUDGE WITH CLARIFYING ANY POSSIBLE CONFUSION
WITH THOSE INVOLVED WITH A CASE. THIS SERVICE HELPS
TO REINFORCE THE INFORMATION WE ALREADY HAVE ON OUR
NATIONAL INFORMATION CENTRE (NIC), WHICH INCLUDES THE
STANDARD DETAILS OF OUR CITIZENS
wishes to check their status in the
Kingdom (from their home country),
or to clarify ownership of something
within the Kingdom, he or she can seek
clarification remotely through the new
portal.
In addition, we have also introduced
the fingerprint service for verification,
which has been instrumental in
assisting a judge with clarifying any
possible confusion with those involved
with a case. This service helps to
reinforce the information we already
have on our National Information
Centre (NIC), which includes the
standard details of our citizens.
Through other IT implementations and
in coordination with institutions such
as banks, we can empower our judges
to oversee cases such as those involved
with fines, wherein the judge can enact
an order to enter the bank account
and freeze it, until the matter has been
resolved and any monies owed have
been consolidated.

Another service that has been introduced
through the use of advanced technology
adoption, is remote litigation. This
enables a defendant, who may be
detained in a location out of reach from
the courthouse, to join the session in realtime and speak with the judge from this
remote location. This removes the stress
to the defendant and allows the process
to be carried out more expediently. Of
course, the defendant has the right to
request that he be physically brought to
the courthouse and to the judge.
A solid and reliable IT infrastructure
is what enables us to introduce these
services to better administer the services
of the Ministry. It is our hope that
continued IT implementation will offer
more services, not just to the public, but
also to the employees of the Ministries
who carry out this important work.
Can you please describe how
IT implementations within the
Ministry will help contribute to
elements of the ‘Vision 2030’?
