Rwanda and Morocco have decided to share their expertise to develop their respective justice sector with technology. For this purpose, on January 21, 2019, in Kigali, the two countries represented by their respective ministers of justice (Mohamed Aujjar for Morocco and Johnston Busingye for Rwanda) signed a cooperation agreement for the their courts’ digitization.
According to Johnston Busingye, Rwanda decided to introduce ICT into the justice sector to facilitate the procedures, in 2004. The sector, which used to rely on manual interventions and needed paper for the procedures, has since then evolved to another stage. “Today, we are at a level where individuals file their cases online, follow up on their cases online as well as receive telephone messages about their case proceedings. The only thing that requires people to come to courts is hearing”, Rwanda's justice minister explained.
In Morocco, in the framework of the Morocco digital 2020, the government created a website, an e-justice platform, for the ministry of justice to facilitate interactions with users. Moroccans can now follow up on cases pending before the court of justice, request court documentation online and receive them in their email address.
The experience developed by Rwanda and Morocco over the years is not similar. Therefore, each party wants to take advantage of the experience developed by the other to improve its own judicial system.
