Ghana’s Judiciary will start accepting payments through mobile money, Chief Justice (CJ) Sophia Akuffo has revealed.
The Judiciary is set to implement a
paperless system to improve the quality of justice delivery by
incorporating e-payment systems into its operations.
According to Justice Akuffo, the e-justice
system will enable legal practitioners to file cases and complaints
electronically and use online and mobile money platforms to pay legal
fees.
The Chief Justice made this known in a
statement read on her behalf by His Lordship Justice Gabriel Pwamang at
the First Africa Region Data Protection and Privacy Conference in Accra.
“the e-justice system will be a paperless
system and will enable us to store and track cases. Relevant persons
will be able to electronically file cases and complaints, track the
status of their cases as well as make online and mobile money payments
for court transactions,” the speech indicated.
The CJ expressed optimism that the new
system will make it possible for court users to get instant notification
of all adjournments via short messages or email.
“This thing will become a tangible solution
to many of the challenges that we face in the delivery of quality
justice to our people.
To this end, she appealed for a holistic data
protection regime in accordance with the laws. “This includes actively
involving ourselves with cybersecurity issues as well, which go hand in
hand with data protection”.
For her part, the President of the African
Network of Data Protection Authorities, Margaret Ouedraogo Bonane said
her outfit is mapping up an action plan to get a data protection
authority to set up in many African countries.
The United Nations Special Rapporteur on
Rights to Privacy, Professor Joe Cannataci, also challenged African
countries to set up a data protection authority to achieve the UN global
benchmark of data protection and rights to privacy.
Sixteen of 55 African countries have passed
data protection laws. Only Ghana and South Africa have Data Protection
Commissions. They are members of the African Network of Data Protection
Authorities.
Nigeria has enacted the data protection law
but failed to set up a Commission, which makes them fall below the
Council of Europe’s Convention 108 on data protection benchmark.
According to Prof Cannataci, the UN global
standard demands that member states scale up efforts to protect and
promote rights to privacy within the cyberspace.
In an exclusive interview with Class91.3FM’s
Jerry Akornor ahead of the First Africa Region Data Protection and
Privacy Conference in Accra, Prof. Cannataci charged African governments
to show courage within the cyberspace.
Contributing to the discussion, the
Executive Director of the Data Protection Commission in Ghana, Patricia
Adusei-Poku said efforts are being made to engage the AU and ECOWAS to
enable member states to pass data protection laws and establish data
protection commissions.
