Lady Justice Olive Kazaarwe Mukwaya has been elected the first female President of the Uganda Judicial Officers Association, an umbrella that brings together Judges, Registrars and Magistrates.
Kazaarwe was elected during the Annual General Meeting held in Kampala on Saturday.
She replaces Justice Tadeo Asiimwe, the Deputy Head of the Land Division of the High Court, who headed the Association for two terms.
Kazaarwe will be deputized by Fort Portal Grade one Magistrate Daphne Ayebare.
Chief Justice Alfonse Owiny-Dollo, the patron of Uganda Judicial Officers association, spoke tough, saying he is ready to forgive any judicial officer for anything but not one who engages him/herself in the vice of corruption.
Kazaarwe pledged to unite the disunited members of the Uganda Judicial officers association to forget their past differences in the interest of dispensing equitable justice for the people of Uganda.
