Prosecutor General Abbas Shareef says the MVR 12 million PGO 2.0 project, which digitises the services of the Prosecutor General’s Office and develops in-house Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, will significantly speed up the delivery of justice.

Speaking on a state media programme on Tuesday, Abbas said the two-year project will bring all counter services online once completed. He said systems such as eDhoroashi and eFaas will allow the public to access services 24 hours a day without visiting the office.

Abbas said the project will drastically reduce the time taken to process cases submitted by investigative agencies.

“We scan, the electronic file goes to the prosecutor, and everything is done in 15 minutes. We are bringing the fastest turnaround from 24 to 48 hours down to half a day,” he said.

“This means the work can be completed within six hours. Even major cases will be sent to court within a maximum of 48 hours,” he added.

Abbas said the AI tools used under PGO 2.0 are being developed internally, ensuring full protection of personal information. He also noted that responses to documents submitted by investigative agencies will be issued on a day-to-day basis.

PGO 2.0 is a reform initiative to fully digitise and modernise the operations and services of the Prosecutor General’s Office. The project aims to strengthen internal management and deliver services through a transparent, technology-driven system.

The government is also working to enhance digital ID and cyber security by connecting all state institutions to a unified network.
