The Judiciary has deployed 25 newly appointed judicial officers and transferred 45 others, including Registrars and Magistrates, in an effort to enhance efficiency and effectiveness in service delivery across various courts nationwide.
In a press statement issued today, Chief Justice Alfonse Owiny-Dollo welcomed the deployments and transfers, describing them as part of the Judiciary’s Transformational Agenda aimed at improving access to justice and addressing the case backlog.
The statement also highlighted remarks by Chief Registrar Sarah Langa Siu, who noted that some of the deployments and transfers at the Magistracy level involve newly operationalized magisterial areas, including Nakaseke, Gomba, Butaleja, and Kawempe.
Stations with high caseloads, such as Mukono, Mbarara, and Buganda Road, have received additional Chief Magistrates to boost capacity.
Key changes among Registrars include the transfer of Deputy Registrars, Catherine Agwero from Kabale to Luwero, Faisal Umar Mulalira from the Judicial Training Institute to Masindi, and Assistant Registrars Helen Atigo from the Family Division to Rukungiri among others.
According to the Chief Registrar, the new deployments take effect immediately, while the transfers will become effective on January 1, 2025. END
