Judiciary chief offers to help gov’t tackle economic issues
On Monday, Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, during a meeting of the Supreme Judicial Council, referred to the endorsement ceremony of President Masoud Pezeshkian on Sunday, noting that that as the Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said, economic matters are currently the priority, and all branches and pillars of the system must assist the government in this regard; thus, the judiciary must also contribute, IRNA reported.
Elaborating on how the judicial system can assist the government, the head of the Judiciary stated that, “This support cannot be limited to mere words. We must actively support the government in overcoming economic and livelihood challenges.”
The Judiciary chief underlined that one of the significant manifestations of the body’s support for the government in economic matters is ensuring the security of investments.
“In this regard, we should not impose unnecessary and unjustified restrictions on law-abiding businesspeople,” he said, noting that, “There are sometimes complaints about unnecessary limitations imposed by the judiciary or its agents on merchandisers.”
Ejei stated that one of the requirements for economic growth and prosperity is attention to the issue of “competitiveness.”
“If government and semi-governmental organization tighten the space for the private sector, then economic revitalization will not progress,” he said, adding that, “All members of society should play a role in the economy, and the economy must, in the truest sense, become people-oriented.”
“The judiciary has valuable capacities to assist the government in various fields, and we view supporting the government as a form of supporting ourselves, as the government’s success in addressing people’s livelihood issues will also reduce the volume of judicial cases,” he
concluded.
