Supreme Court Judge nominee, Justice Senyo Dzamefe, has emphasised the need for the judiciary to leverage technology and adopt virtual courts for proceedings.
Justice Dzamefe believes this will enhance the justice delivery system and ensure efficiency.
He made this advocacy when he appeared before the Appointments Committee on Monday, June 16, 2025.
“We also need to go virtual courts, so that you do not necessarily have to go to the court before you give evidence, such that when you are not there, it has to be postponed or [you] travel all the way from your destination to appear in court. And so, with the virtual court, you can still give evidence wherever you are and the case goes on,” he urged.
He added that the virtual court system will solve the recurring issue of adjournments and unnecessary delays that frequently stall legal proceedings.
“We must go with technology. We need the tools, technological tools now. The time of long-hand writing is past,” he argued.
