insights Key Observations & Findings
The justice system demonstrates moderate integrity with significant improvements in access to justice and case management efficiency. Recent investments in legal aid programs and digital infrastructure have begun to show positive results in reducing barriers to justice.
Judicial independence remains the most critical challenge, with ongoing concerns about political influence in appointments and case decisions. Strengthening institutional safeguards and improving transparency in judicial processes are essential for building public trust.
Anti-corruption efforts have gained momentum with enhanced whistleblower protections and improved investigation capabilities. However, enforcement mechanisms need strengthening, particularly for high-level corruption cases involving political figures.
The adoption of digital case management systems has accelerated, leading to improved efficiency in court operations. However, the digital divide affects equal access to these improvements, particularly in rural areas and for vulnerable populations.
