Accelerate the judicial process

The country is currently experiencing a surge in corruption. Every time you open a newspaper, there are reports of illicit wealth accumulation, falsification of asset information, bribery, embezzlement, money laundering, and corruption in government procurement, among other crimes. These allegations are being filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). Lawsuits are also being filed against the accused. However, due to infrastructural weaknesses, the case processes are not progressing. Judicial proceedings are at a standstill, resulting in a backlog of cases.
