Guyana’s justice system is set to benefit from enhanced court recording technology following the official handover of equipment and software worth approximately $80 million under the PACE Justice Project.

The initiative is expected to improve accuracy, efficiency, and record-keeping across several courts, as the Judiciary continues its shift toward a modern, technology-driven system.

Chancellor of the Judiciary (ag), Roxanne George, said that these systems will be instrumental in ensuring an efficient and modern judiciary.

“These systems will definitely enhance court efficiency. A modern judiciary requires clear and reliable recording systems to ensure a secure official record of the court proceedings,” she said during the handover ceremony on Thursday.

The equipment will support faster case management, clearer court records, and improved access to justice for citizens nationwide.

Attorney General, and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall SC says the intervention comes at a critical moment for Guyana, as criminal justice reform takes center stage.

“This intervention comes at a very appropriate and strategic time. The administration of criminal justice in the Caribbean is undergoing tremendous scrutiny, examination, introspection, and a revamp and it is being done at the highest level,” the AG noted.

He noted that strengthening the justice system is essential to national development, social stability, and the rule of law.
