DDP introduces software to help judiciary

Loss of case files and other key prosecution documents in the courts of law will be no more after the office of Director of Public Prosecution (DDP) introduced software application, iJustice, for information tracking.

The software is aimed at guaranteeing accurate court data compilation, security of court data and help in delivery of justice in an expedited manner.

The DPP says the software introduction in Uganda's judicial system is timely due to increased theft of case files to hinder prosecution.
Tracing files and tracking of files is generally a toll order in the office of Director of Public Prosecution and often more than a week is needed.

This traditional information management has often been vulnerable to fraudsters within the judicial system. These fraudsters pluck out papers from case files in order to weaken a case depending on who has paid them. That chapter now seems to have come to an end.
