"If Kikabi can introduce all of you by name and station, it shows how committed and comfortable he is working with you as a strong team," he said.

He said the use of ICT in the judiciary is the modern way of conducting court business and, as such, should be embraced.

“IT ought to be adopted if we are to cope with the new global world,” he said adding that technology training will be a permanent feature in the Judiciary.

The ECCMIS technical advisor, Julian Rweju, applauded Bigirimana as the project champion for his invaluable support in ensuring that the Judiciary has an electronic court processes system in place.
