DoJ to buy 1,000 laptops to improve productivity


By:
MANILA, Philippines—The Department of Justice (DoJ) is set to buy 1,000 laptops this year to provide field prosecutors with the needed equipment to improve productivity.

“It is part of the DoJ’s Development Agenda to continue to build capacity and strengthen the institution,” Justice Secretary Leila De Lima said in a statement.

“We will work closely with the Department of Budget and Management and our development partners to ensure that the necessary investments will be made in the justice system,” she added.

The DoJ has conducted a nationwide network assessment of its offices to enable internet connectivity under the governance cluster’s digitization program for transparency and quick delivery of public service.

The department is also set to establish the National Justice Information System, with the technical assistance from the Asian Development Bank, to link the different databases of the justice sector agencies.
