Dr. Hala El-Said, Minister of Planning and Economic Development, agreed to approve EPG 131 million to reinforce the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology's plan for the fiscal year 2020/21, to support the implementation of digital transformation projects, including the law enforcement system.

 

El-Said explained that the approved amount came in light of the state’s tendency to support digital transformation projects in various sectors, as well as to fully integrate and link the law enforcement system for optimal operation. This comes as part of the measures taken to speed up completion and operation of the first and second stages of Law enforcement system under the directives of the political leadership.

The minister pointed out that the Law Enforcement System project aims to build an automated and unified judicial system to integrate efforts of the various concerned institutions. The system will bring together the largest number of parties responsible for achieving justice. It will work to provide all litigants' services in the fastest time and with minimal effort.

El-Said added that the law enforcement system takes place through the automation of courts across Egypt and linking them electronically to several ministries and relevant stakeholders, to achieve prompt justice using information technology.

 

The cost of the Law Enforcement System project is EGP 262 million. The project's first phase is concerned with the Ministry of Justice by activating the unified judicial system in 47 courts, including 5 courts of appeal in the governorates of Ismailia, Port Said, Suez, and Marsa Matrouh. It also includes the Alexandria and Ismailia economic courts, and 7 courts of the first instance, most notably of which is the New Cairo Court of First Instance. Furthermore, the project includes 33 primary missions and Cantonal Courts in Cairo and the governorates of Delta and Western-Egypt.
