His Excellency the Attorney General, Sheikh Saud bin Abdullah Al-Muajab, issued an administrative decision appointing Dr. Nayef bin Musad Al-Waked as the official spokesperson for the Public Prosecution, in a step aimed at strengthening communication channels between the judicial system and various media outlets, and consolidating the principle of transparency adopted by the Kingdom in all its governmental sectors.

Dr. Nayef Al-Waked was chosen for this sensitive position due to his extensive legal and judicial experience. He previously served as the head of the Financial Fraud Prosecution, a complex case that the Public Prosecution has recently focused on with great attention. Al-Waked has also emerged as a familiar and trusted media figure through a series of television interviews and press statements that have emphasized raising awareness about the dangers of financial crimes and how to combat evolving fraud methods, making him well-suited to lead the Public Prosecution's media efforts in the coming period.

Enhancing institutional communication and legal awareness

This decision primarily aims to develop the Public Prosecution's media system and ensure the flow of accurate and reliable information to the public, especially given the proliferation of rumors and misinformation on social media platforms. The new spokesperson is expected to intensify awareness campaigns aimed at protecting society from crime before it occurs and informing citizens and residents of their legal rights and obligations, in accordance with the Kingdom's judicial system.

The Public Prosecution and keeping pace with Vision 2030

This appointment cannot be separated from the broader context of the development underway within the Saudi Arabian judicial system under the umbrella of Vision 2030. The Public Prosecution has witnessed significant strides in digital transformation and procedural governance, and the appointment of a highly qualified spokesperson reflects a commitment to keeping pace with this development both internally and externally. The Public Prosecution plays a pivotal role in protecting public and private rights and promoting swift justice, and the media serves as a supporting arm for these efforts, highlighting the agency's achievements and clarifying the facts for the public with professionalism and impartiality.

In conclusion, the appointment of Dr. Al-Waked reflects the leadership’s confidence in young national talents capable of assuming responsibility, as the coming period is expected to witness intensive media activity by the Public Prosecution focusing on the preventive and educational aspect, which will enhance community security and legal stability in the country.
