Baghdad: Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani stressed the need for a complete shift to automation and electronic work in all departments of the Ministry of Justice. His media office said in a statement, “Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani visited the Ministry of Justice and the Real Estate Registration Department today, Sunday. He emphasized that his visit to the ministry stems from the importance of the role it plays in providing services, as its departments are among the most closely connected to citizens.”
According to National Iraqi News Agency, the statement continued that al-Sudani toured the Real Estate Registration Department, where he met with a group of citizens, listened to their comments and needs, and reviewed the progress of work at all stages of service and administrative work.
During his visit, al-Sudani stressed the need to proceed with a complete transformation toward automation and electronic work in order to facilitate citizens’ needs, expedite the completion of transactions, remove obstacles and red tape, combat corruption, and reduce pressure on employees. This stems from the idea of a service government, which is not just a slogan, but rather a diagnosis of the importance of enhancing services to restore trust between institutions and our people.
He pointed to the problem of overcrowding in the Ministry of Justice departments due to the lack of buildings in Baghdad and the governorates, emphasizing the importance of using electronic signatures to complete citizen transactions, despite the presence of those who seek to obstruct work and maintain the status quo. This requires managers to provide effective solutions, particularly in the area of combating corruption, which is one of the main areas of evaluation for officials.
The Prime Minister reviewed the conditions of the Correctional Service, emphasizing the need for it to truly become a home for the reform of inmates. This should be achieved by working to address the problem of overcrowding and facilitating education and literacy programs within the Correctional Service’s prisons and departments. He also emphasized his follow-up on land preparation procedures for ministry employees and resolving any obstacles to this process.
