Judiciary online platform affected by technical hitch

The Judiciary Teams Online court platform is down affecting almost all virtual courts in the country.

Most litigants have been waiting online since 9 am to be admitted but to no avail.

Lawyer Nelson Havi in a tweet asked the Judiciary to give way forward on how Thursday cases will be handled.

"Advocates have been waiting in the online lobby for 45 minutes to be admitted in Court. Any word from Judiciary on how today’s matters will be dealt with?" he posed.

He called up the Judiciary to seek a permanent solution to the problem.

Currently, the Judiciary is issuing new temporary links for some virtual courts but most litigants are still stranded on the way forward because they can’t use the existing links to join court sessions.

The Judiciary said their license renewal process had been delayed.

"All courts are requested to use alternative links through the Google Meet online platform, which have been generated by  ICT and will be sent out by the respective courts."

They apologized for the inconvenience caused.
