Mr Matawalle also disclosed that all Sharia Courts in the state will be renovated while all Judges will be provided with official cars.
“It is not befitting or even safe to site a Judge riding a commercial motorcycle,” the governor said.
He noted that such projects are changes many people do not want, assuring that his administration “is bent on bringing these changes”.
“A committee is already in place to look into all the problems of the Judiciary in the state,” Mr Matawalle said, assuring that the state government will ensure the implementation of their recommendations.
In his remarks, the new Grand Khadi thanked the governor for the honour done to him, promising to carry out his duties without fear or favour.
