Muhammad Bin Abul Karim Al-Issa, the new Minister of Justice, has described the greatest challenges and concerns facing him in his new office as the development of the judiciary and its facilities, and the implementation of a modern system for which the state has allocated seven billion riyals. Al-Issa, speaking Saturday to Okaz, said he was fully aware of the difficulties faced by the public and their demands to have their cases resolved, as well as a shortage of official judges in some of the more remote regions. He promised to accord top priorities to all these issues. The initial steps to be taken, Al-Issa said, would address the technical aspect of courts' work. The new minister said he received the news of his appointment with great pride and that he hoped he would reward the trust that has been put in him by King Abdullah.
