Shalimar Ali-Hack delivering her address on Tuesday

Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Shalimar Ali-Hack SC has decried the outmoded paper-based system still being used for the filing of cases and made an appeal for a digital transformation.

Ali-Hack was at the time addressing a gathering of members of the legal fraternity, diplomatic corps and other dignitaries, following Tuesday’s opening of the Demerara April criminal sessions at the High Court.

In a direct appeal to acting Chancellor of the Judiciary Yonette Cummings-Edwards and Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs Anil Nandlall SC, the DPP said that her office looks forward to the New Guyana Management Information System which is expected to see the digitizing of police files.
