Deputy Chief Justice for Religious Courts Affairs, Andi Syamsu Alam, urges Religious Courts to maximize the use of websites to help improve the transparency of judiciaries.

“I urge all Religious Courts to seriously use websites. If all websites, which are already available at almost all Religious Courts, are highly developed, the transparency that people demand will be achieved,” he said Wednesday (28/4) at his working room in the Supreme Court building Jakarta.

“Court verdicts must be immediately published on the web. People should know judges who are hearing their cases and the case-handling process as well as the verdicts. All must be disclosed transparently.”

Andi also appreciated Director General of Badilag (Religious Court Body) for his relentless efforts in promoting the importance of websites for Religious Courts. “Now the people can see the results that Religious Courts are much more transparent than before,” he said.
