New Year presents in form of apps from ministry
THE Justice Ministry has prepared several gifts for the public to mark the New Year.
“For instance, we will offer an application that will help track those who go missing,” Justice Minister General Paiboon Koomchaya said on Monday, adding that the ministry had also developed several other technology-driven tools for the better delivery of justice.
Among them are an application that allows users to monitor the status of complaints they have filed or cases they are engaged in; one that specifies the boundary of state-owned land in order to prevent unintentional encroachment; and a long-distance visiting system for juvenile detainees and their relatives.
“We will also provide an application that allows users to searches for forfeited condo units waiting to be auctioned. In a related app, users can also submit bids,” he said.
Paiboon said the ministry would help those detained wrongfully to get compensation.
Officials also plan to open halfway homes, or facilities that provide physical and mental rehabilitation for offenders or drug abusers in |all provinces. In addition, |the ministry will launch a |correctional facility with an agricultural-theme in the Northeast.
Paiboon said he hoped the New Year ‘gifts’ from the ministry would ease the suffering of people and benefit society.
