The Constitutional Law Reform Commission (CLRC) launched its new website today, marking a milestone in their efforts in reaching the public and raising awareness on important law reforms in the country. CLRC Secretary Dr Mange Matui said the commission’s first website was launched in 2021, but it did noT suit CLRC’s interests hence, they engaged a different developer to refurbish their website. He said the website will now bridge the gap between CLRC and the public and its stakeholders. “This platform (website) is vital as it bridges the gap between connecting our fellow stakeholders and citizens directly with the Commission, fostering a seamless participation in law reform processes by accepting their views, taking part in CLRC questionnaires, consultation and general inquiries in regard to law reform agendas.” Dr Matui said website will cover vital publication and information suitable for public consumption and will promote conveniency of public and stakeholder engagement directly with the Commission. “This will undoubtedly ensure that transparency and integrity is upheld in all our internal and external affairs, in dealing with ourselves and in dealing with our external stakeholders as well and providing all necessary insights and information possible for public consumption,” said Dr Matui. Publications accessible to the general public and relevant stakeholders through the website are the issues papers, position papers, terms of references, constitutional directives, draft reports, reviews, monographs, corporate publications and newsletters and related documents. Dr Matui further said the website will “provide an in-depth understanding of the Commission's roles and responsibilities in reviewing and reshaping laws enshrined within the Constitution, enabling upholding justice and ensuring that the legal framework evolves to meet the needs of society.” Present to officially launch the website, Member for Okapa Open and Chairman of CLRC Hon. Saki Soloma acknowledged CLRC staff and the website developer, Digitec for delivering an interactive, user-friendly website. He said this platform will enable the effective functioning of CLRC’s roles. “This crucial development is essential for the effective administration or administering of CLRC functions and responsibilities by promoting transparency and integrity of the commission.” He said the launching of this website resonates with the Digital Government Act 2022 which emphasizes on the use of information and communication technologies across all public sectors, granting accessibility and engagement between government departments, stakeholders and public. “Let me assure all our stakeholders, working communities and general public that all you need to know of the Constitutional and Law Reform Commission regarding its visions, admission statements, public cases, updates and public engagement inquiries will be provided and facilitated through our refurbished website.”
