Legal counsels at the Ministry of Justice are taking a one-month training on English Language, government contracts, taxation and arbitration.

The undersecretary, Jeremiah Swaka Moses, said the course aims at improving the capacity of the trainees.

The training also focuses on teaching the legal counsels English language. Most of them are of Arabic background.

The counsels have already gone through the training

“These guys you see here had a general workshop, but we found that these issues where not well tackled,” Mr Swaka told the media this morning.

“So they are here now to focus on these three issues, of course together with the English language.”

The training is part of a 30-month project that started last year and will end in October.

The project is funded by the European Union and implemented by the International Development Law Organization.
