The Ministry stated that failure to deliver justice, especially in a case of this nature, where the murder occurred in broad daylight with multiple witnesses, would cause the public to lose trust in law enforcement services and the judicial system.
Ministry of Homeland Security and Technology has said that they are conducting researches into the adverse effects of the failure of bringing perpetrators of major crimes to justice.
The Ministry said that they are studying the changes that are necessary to be brought to the laws within the criminal justice system to change this status quo.
The Homeland Security Ministry made these remarks in response to the recent Criminal Court ruling where all seven accused in the murder of Mohamed Anas was acquitted.
In a statement released tonight, the Ministry said that the government is deeply concerned by the court's ruling to acquit all accused in the murder of Anas.
The Ministry stated that failure to deliver justice in a case of this nature, where the murder occurred in broad daylight with multiple witnesses, would cause the public to lose trust in law enforcement services and the judicial system.
They further said that decisions like this offer a sense of impunity to criminals, who feel they will get away without facing legal repercussions after committing crimes.
"To ensure that this kind of issue is not repeated, and to uphold the laws, the Attorney General has commenced work to review and research necessary amendments that must be brought to the laws in the criminal justice system," the Ministry's statement reads.
