South Sudan Deputy Chief Justice says citizens are uninformed of their rights and they are not able to follow legal procedures to access justice.
Speaking to media, Dr.John Gatwich says there are no exorbitant fees charged for victims to access justice.
“There is nobody who has made huddles for people not to access justice, its only people who are not aware of their rights who are unable to come to us. And to be sure that, what saying is true, justice is open to all. We are informing everybody.”
Dr Gatwich explains that, people like IDPs and other groups of people who are unable to access justice because of unspecified challenges, will now access it through mobile courts.
He adds that the mobile courts will be extended to areas where there are no judges and court rooms.
“We have been doing this, where there are no court rooms and where there are no court centers in far areas, we have been sending our judges.”
He says the mobile court is not permanent, but it is a coordination work between the police, prosecutors and the judges.
The Duputy Chief Justice was speaking to Journalists during the closing day of a round table discussion with Judiciary and stakeholders on building strategic partnership that will facilitate access to justice by IDPs on Thursday in Juba.
