Law and Institutional Reform Minister Azalina Othman Said has called on the Federal Court's chief registrar to address concerns raised by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) over the e-Jamin electronic bail system.
Azalina clarified that the bail system operates under the purview of the chief registrar, placing responsibility for the system's administration and performance squarely with that office. The PAC's findings have prompted the government to seek clarification and accountability regarding the system's operations.
The e-Jamin system was introduced to streamline bail procedures within the Federal Court through digital mechanisms. The PAC investigation suggests there may be issues requiring examination and rectification by the relevant judicial authorities.
No specific details about the PAC's findings have been disclosed, but the minister's statement indicates the government is taking the committee's concerns seriously. The chief registrar's office is expected to provide a formal response addressing the committee's observations regarding the bail system's implementation and effectiveness.
