Earlier this year, during his Presidential Address, President Muizzu identified delays in hearings and verdicts as significant challenges within the judicial system. To combat these issues, he announced the forthcoming construction of the Superior Court Complex in Hulhumalé, with plans to commence this ambitious project within the year.
In addition to infrastructural advancements, the government is actively pursuing legal reforms to fortify the judiciary’s role as a trusted pillar of the nation. Notably, President Muizzu has pledged to introduce amendments to the Drugs Act and a new Gang Crimes Prohibition Bill. These legislative measures aim to dismantle criminal networks and address the drug epidemic, reflecting the administration’s unwavering dedication to public safety and justice.
These concerted efforts signify a transformative era for the Maldivian judiciary, with President Muizzu at the helm steering the nation toward a more efficient and reliable legal system.
