Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani stressed on Monday the importance of coordinating judicial departments to minimize the effort on citizens. He noted that implementing the electronic automation project will contribute to facilitating the completion of paper work electronically.

A statement from the Prime Minister's Media Office, obtained by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), stated that "Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani launched, via videoconference, the implementation work on four projects for judicial department complexes in the districts of Mada'in in Baghdad, Baqubah in Diyala, Dujail in Salah al-Din, and Al- Chibayish in Dhi Qar."

The statement emphasized "the importance of completing these projects according to the latest technical and administrative standards, with the aim of providing an appropriate environment for completing paper work away from red tape, especially since the Ministry of Justice and its departments in Baghdad and the governorates receive thousands of citizens. 

Furthermore, the coordinating of the Real Estate Registration Department, the Notary Public, the Enforcement Directorate, and the Department of Minors' Care in one location will save effort and time for customers, who suffer due to the dispersion of institutions in more than one location."

It pointed out that "the projects of the four judicial departments' complexes consist of several floors, including the Real Estate Registration and Judicial Enforcement Directorates, the Notary Public Department, and the Minors' Care Departments. They were designed according to a single-window system and adopt an electronic queue system. The complexes are equipped with elevators, civil defense systems, and modern camera and network communications systems, while also providing for the needs of people with special needs."

The Prime Minister emphasized "the single-window principle in the context of completing paper work, which is linked to administrative reform, which is among the government's priorities." He explained that "the implementation of the electronic automation project will contribute to facilitating the completion of paper work electronically and reducing red tape. It is the ideal solution to combat administrative and financial corruption."

He explained that "providing services smoothly to citizens is one of the government's most important goals, especially in departments that have direct contact with citizens," emphasizing "the speed of completion and accuracy of procedures to secure citizens' legal rights and raise the level of work in line with the government's directives."

The Prime Minister added, "We commend and appreciate the efforts made to facilitate procedures for citizens to complete paper work in various departments of the Ministry of Justice," stressing that "the implementing companies are obligated to implement these projects according to the planned schedules and designs, and to adhere to the specified timeframes."
