In the meantime, the Execution Department in the Ministry of Justice has asked the Council of Ministers to increase the number of workers in the Courts Sector and its affiliates in all governorates to 100 percent in order to ensure the completion of transactions and to better serve the public, reports Al-Qabas daily.

The daily obtained a copy of the department’s letter to the council, in which it affirmed its strict compliance with health regulations.

He pointed out that government agencies are coordinating with the Civil Service Commission (CSC) to adopt what they deem appropriate with regard to the attendance of their employees in a manner that accommodates all visitors and facilitates the completion of transactions.
