Last year, the Judicial Service Commission (JSC),
introduced the IECMS, which digitised the Constitutional Court, Supreme Court,
Commercial Court, Labour Court and Administrative Court, making them paperless.
The lawyer representing some prisoners who were convicted
of theft about two weeks ago, Arkisayi James Dhliwayo of Hara Law firm, said he
was handling two matters but was failing to apply for bail due to challenges
emanating from the digital system.
“I have two matters that I am handling. It is now over a
week trying to upload the system, but have been ailing, we are not IT experts.
I do not know how many of us are failing to access this system,’’ said
Dhliwayo.
According to court papers he is representing Pedzisayi
Manungo and five others employed as sales assistants by Chic Styles Boutique,
Bulawayo, and are alleged to have connived to steal their employer’s property
worth US$4 500.
The six, who are denying the charge, have been remanded in
custody at Khami Prison pending bail application.
JSC head of corporate system, Sharon Gabanga said they were
verifying the concern and would advise on the matter later. Newsday
