“This initiative will in no small measure help boost the economy by ensuring that funds meant for the movement of the inmates would be channelled to other essential areas of needs in the Correctional Centres, and assist the country to meet up with global best practice in terms of the Administration of the Criminal Justice,” he said.
He expressed that the virtual court would end disruptions by making it possible for evidence of suspects in custody to be taken without their physical presence in court.
He also added that it would equally guarantee the safety of suspects and prison officials.
