Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The Chief Justice of South Sudan Judiciary has promised to increase the number of mobile court judges to expedite the trial of inmates at Juba Central Prison.<\/p>\n

Justice Chan Reec Madut said this when he inspected the facility that is reported to have 1800 inmates pending trials for alleged crimes related to theft, killing and defilement.<\/p>\n

The Chief Justice was accompanied by the Inspector General of the National Police, Majak Akech and the Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs Ruben Madol.<\/p>\n

The visit this morning aimed at ascertaining the number of inmates awaiting trial and address the backlog of untried cases.<\/p>\n

Address the inmates, Justice Reec says since he established four mobile courts at the prison, he never received reports about the back log of cases.<\/p>\n

\u201d As the Chief Justice, I did what is called a mobile court, and I established four mobile courts in Juba Central Prison, believing that this will help and speed up the resolution of cases,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

However, the Judiciary boss says, he will increase the number of judges from four to eight to speed up resolution of the pending cases.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will speak with the Minister of Justice to provide public prosecutors so that we can expedite the resolution of cases and have the courts adjudicate them,\u201d he added.<\/b><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Lul Deng who is on a death row shared his ordeal to Eye Radio.<\/p>\n

\u201d I wished that one of the wards would be open so that you could see how the prisoners are crowded in the rooms and the way they sleep,\u201d he said, adding that: \u201d Here[prison] we eat one meal a day, which is beans, and this causes malnutrition and diseases.\u201d<\/p>\n

Juba Central prison today parade 2767 inmates including 42 lunatics.<\/p>\n
