Justice system tour at Al-Sumait's Court Complex emphasizes efforts towards a more accessible judiciary system
The Ministry of Justice, under the leadership of Minister Nasser Al-Sumait, has announced a comprehensive reform plan aimed at improving accessible justice, judicial performance, and streamlining procedures. This ambitious initiative was revealed during a recent visit to the Al-Raqqa Courts Complex, which was also reported by Al-Rai daily.
Minister Al-Sumait, accompanied by Acting Assistant Undersecretary Nouf Al-Qabandi and Acting Undersecretary of the Ministry Awatif Al-Sanad, embarked on a tour of the Al-Raqqa Courts Complex to review the quality of services offered to clients and gather feedback from both employees and clients. The purpose of this visit was to monitor workflow and identify ways of improving service delivery, as well as to assess the need for any necessary improvements in the facilities and departments.
During the tour, Minister Al-Sumait listened attentively to the feedback provided, with the aim of enhancing the performance of the Ministry and ensuring that the services offered are of the highest standard. The Minister also emphasised the Ministry's commitment to strengthening accessible justice and streamlining procedures for more efficient services.
Key elements of this reform plan include reviewing and updating major laws, expanding alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, using technological transformation to modernise judicial processes, and advancing the new Judicial Law. The new Judicial Law, which has reached its final stages, is expected to serve as the foundation for broad judicial reforms in Kuwait.
This initiative reflects a historical continuity following two prior legislative renaissances in Kuwait (1959-1965 and 1978-1984), positioning it as the most significant reform in the country's legal system to date. The Ministry of Justice is collaborating with state agencies and civil society to harness digital technologies, enhance efficiency, and maintain continuity in the judicial system.
In conclusion, Minister Nasser Al-Sumait's visit to the Al-Raqqa Courts Complex marks a significant step forward in Kuwait's ongoing efforts to improve its legal system and ensure accessible justice for all. The feedback gathered during the tour will be used to identify areas for improvement and help shape the future of the Ministry of Justice in Kuwait.
The Minister's visit to the Al-Raqqa Courts Complex is part of a broader strategy to address policy-and-legislation changes in Kuwait's legal system, aligning it with the political agenda. The comprehensive reform plan, which emphasizes accessible justice and streamlining procedures, includes updating major laws, advancing the new Judicial Law, and harnessing digital technologies to modernize judicial processes - all falling under the general-news category.
