“It is based on the realisation that Justice rushed could also result in Justice crushed. We will always strive to strike a balance between the two possibilities.”
The jurist said that the judiciary would also introduce mechanisms to “fast-track” proceedings and ensure that cases, especially criminal ones, were not delayed.
“We shall ensure that our correctional centres are decongested. Efforts will be geared towards the automation of our court processes for quick, efficient and effective Justice Delivery.
