During
a
visit
to
the
Federal
Supreme
Court
of
Ethiopia,
Malaba
led
a
delegation
that
engaged
with
senior
officials,
including
Federal
Supreme
Court
President
Tewedros
Mihret,
to
exchange
expertise
and
observe
Ethiopia’s
ongoing
judicial
modernization
initiatives.
Speaking
about
the
visit,
Malaba
expressed
satisfaction
with
the
exchange
and
highlighted
Ethiopia’s
significant
strides
in
judicial
reform.
He
emphasized
the
value
of
such
visits
in
enabling
countries
to
benchmark
progress,
share
best
practices,
and
learn
from
each
other’s
experiences.
“The
Ethiopian
judiciary
is
among
the
frontrunners
in
transformative
reforms.
We
are
undertaking
similar
initiatives
in
Zimbabwe
and
recognize
that
we
are
at
different
stages.
This
exchange
allows
us
to
assess
our
progress,
share
experiences,
and
identify
approaches
that
can
enhance
our
own
judicial
systems,”
Malaba
said.
He

hosts,

Malaba
expressed
particular
admiration
for
Ethiopia’s
progress
in
digitalizing
court
procedures.
“The
transition
from
manual
to
electronic
systems
has
been
well-conceived
and
effectively
implemented.
Observing
real-time
video
recordings
and
the
rapid
transcription
of
court
proceedings
has
inspired
us
to
pursue
similar
technological
innovations
in
Zimbabwe,”
he
stated.
Reaffirming
Zimbabwe’s
commitment
to
collaboration,
Malaba
added:
“Knowledge
transcends
borders.
By
working
together,
we
can
improve
access
to
justice
for
our
citizens,
as
guaranteed
in
both
our
constitutions.
We
look
forward
to
expanding
this
partnership,
reflecting
the
cordial
relations
between
our
nations.”

Mihret
noted

delegation
sought
insights
from

reform
initiatives.
He
explained
that
the
visitors
received
comprehensive
briefings,
toured
key
projects,
and
observed
how
newly
adopted
technologies
have
streamlined
judicial
processes,
improved
accessibility,
and
enhanced
efficiency.
He
further
emphasized
Ethiopia’s
commitment
to
advancing
technological
innovation
and
underscored
that
such
exchanges
strengthen
ties
and
foster
shared
learning
between
the
judiciaries
of

countries.
