The Office of the Judiciary needs about N$1,5 billion to reduce the backlog of court cases in the country.

This is according to Executive Director Bernhardt Kukuri, who says that financial constraints contribute to delays in delivering justice.

The Judiciary's Executive Director presented these challenges to the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Constitutional and Legal Affairs at Swakopmund.

Bernhardt Kukuri says a lack of growth in the budget allocation is among the main challenges the Judiciary is facing.
