The judiciary has deployed 35 newly appointed judicial officers at the rank of Magistrates Grade I and transferred at least 58 other Magistrates.
In the new deployments and transfers, Ngongwe, Nyenga, Rubindi and Ntuusi get substantive Magistrates Grade I.
The Chief Justice, Alfonse Owiny – Dollo welcomed the deployments and changes noting that this is work towards the realization of the judiciary transformation agenda.
“ I am very happy to see that we now have 407 Magistrates Grade I. Our vision of enhancing access to justice is becoming a reality with each phase of recruitment of Judicial Officers.”
He urged the new Judicial Officers to always serve with utmost humility and integrity and make upright decisions without fear, favour, malice, compassion, affection, discrimination or ill-will.
The Chief Justice urged the Judicial Officers to give effect to the aspirations of the new Judiciary which are summarized in the Judiciary Strategic Plan V (2020/2021 to 2024/2025)
Communicating the deployments, the Chief Registrar, Sarah Langa Siu, explained, that the transfers and deployments are geared at effective and efficient service delivery to the people of Uganda.
“For some stations with high caseloads, we have deployed more Magistrates to handle the work and I have no doubt that case backlog among this cadre of Officers will reduce significantly,” she said.
“We are working towards ensuring that the public achieves justice quickly and easily. This is in line with our Institutional Vision which is “Justice for All”.
She urged all the judicial officers to adhere to the principles of independence, impartiality, integrity, propriety, equality, competence and diligence as stipulated in the Uganda Code of Judicial Conduct.
The deployments take immediate effect while the transfers are effective January 6, 2025.
