The Mpigi High Court Circuit recently held a Regional Court Coordinating Committee (RCC) meeting to review its performance, address challenges affecting the administration of justice and agree on measures to strengthen coordination among justice sector institutions. The meeting was chaired by the Head of Circuit, Justice Anthony Oyuko Ojok, and moderated by the Deputy Registrar, HW Goretti Arinaitwe. It brought together Judicial Officers from across the Circuit and representatives from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, Uganda Police Force, Uganda Prisons Service, Probation and Social Welfare, Community Service, Land Registration, State Brief Advocates, Resident District Commissioners, religious leaders and other stakeholders. Members welcomed the progress made in reducing the criminal case backlog and recognised the efforts of Judicial Officers, State Attorneys and State Brief Advocates. They called for sustained cooperation and timely preparation of cases to build on the progress made. Discussions placed particular emphasis on cause-list management. Members urged each institution to review the cause lists circulated by the Registry and flag, in advance, any issues that could prevent a hearing from proceeding, including the availability of witnesses, investigating officers, prisoners, counsel and case files. The meeting also considered challenges relating to the late production of prisoners, prolonged remand, missing police files and exhibits, as well as the handling of juvenile matters. The relevant institutions undertook to strengthen coordination in these areas. Members called for greater public awareness of mediation, alternative dispute resolution and Community Service, and encouraged religious and community leaders to help sensitise the public about these options. The meeting also highlighted infrastructure challenges at Gomba/Kanoni, including limited court and office space, unreliable electricity, inadequate parking and sanitary facilities. Members recognised the Uganda Police Force for its support in maintaining security, including during the handling of election petitions. The meeting closed with a call for timely communication and shared responsibility among justice sector stakeholders to strengthen access to justice and service delivery across the Mpigi High Court Circuit

The Family Division of the High Court yesterday held a Bar-Bench engagement chaired by the Head of Division, Hon. Justice John Eudes Keitirima, aimed at fostering open interaction, reviewing case management and addressing emerging challenges in the administration of family justice. Justice Keitirima noted that the Division is currently handling 7,523 cases before six judges. Miscellaneous Applications constitute the largest category at 3,920, followed by Civil Suits at 1,886 and Administration Causes at 885. He disclosed that some judges in the Division have been deployed to handle election petitions and given a timeframe of two months. He noted that if the two-month period lapses, pressure on the remaining judges is likely to increase. He asked members of the Bar to appreciate the situation, while assuring them that the Division would continue to attend to urgent matters. Justice Keitirima cautioned against the growing use of forged documents, particularly death certificates, to obtain Letters of Administration. He urged advocates to exercise due diligence and not accept documents at face value, noting that much of the information can now be verified online. He warned that individuals could go to great lengths to use the court system to perpetrate fraud, and cautioned advocates against inadvertently becoming part of such schemes. The Head of Division also raised concern over decrees nisi and decrees absolute issued by Magistrates Courts that are subsequently brought to the Family Division for verification of authenticity after being queried by some embassies. He observed that the matter should be taken up with the top administration. On consents, Justice Keitirima noted that the law had been amended to require an administrator dealing with an estate to obtain the consent of all beneficiaries, particularly when buying or disposing of estate property. He said the court is now more cautious and cross-checks such consents. On filing practices, he urged advocates to provide their contact details when filing matters and ensure that clients are aware of court business, noting that failure to attend court may lead to dismissal of matters. Justice Keitirima also cautioned against pursuing matters concurrently in two forums, where a matter is before court while counsel is also discussing it in an administrative forum and, in some cases, criticising the court. He called for respect for court processes until a verdict is delivered. He further raised concern over what he described as a growing trend of requests for recusal on flimsy grounds. He appealed to advocates to trust judicial officers, noting that outcomes are expected in litigation and that a party may either win or lose. He added that where there is disagreement with the interpretation of the law, the appropriate avenue is an appeal. On jurisdiction, Justice Keitirima said that following the amendment to the jurisdiction of Magistrates Courts, the Division would insist on the value of the subject matter being indicated in pleadings and may refer some matters back to the Magistrates Courts where appropriate. On case backlog, he noted that the Division has a strategy for dealing with very old cases, referred to as critical backlog cases that have spent more than five years in the system. He disclosed that a session would soon be held to address such matters, observing that even advocates can lose enthusiasm when cases remain unresolved for too long. Justice Keitirima appreciated that mediation had increasingly been embraced and that resistance had reduced. He encouraged stakeholders to continue embracing mediation, particularly in family disputes, noting that many of the matters filed in the Division involve relatives and that litigation may not always be the best outcome for a family

Justice Musa Ssekaana (Justice of the Court of Appeal), on behalf of the Deputy Chief Justice, yesterday presided over the closing ceremony of the inaugural Equal Opportunities Commission National Discrimination and Access to Justice Inter-University Moot Court Competition at the Supreme Court’s Conference Hall in Kampala. The event was organised by the Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC) in partnership with the International Development Law Organization (IDLO) and the Embassy of Sweden in Uganda under the theme: “Advancing Equality, Dignity and Inclusion through Law and Justice.” More than 10 universities from across the country participated in the competition, with Uganda Christian University emerging as the winner. The final rounds of the competition were presided over by Lady Justice Prof. Lillian Tibatemwa Ekirikubinza, Justice Mike Chibita and Justice Christopher Madrama Izama (Justices of the Supreme Court). The competition provided a platform for law students to engage with contemporary issues relating to access to justice, discrimination, equality and equal opportunities. It also enabled them to interact with experienced legal practitioners and adjudicators and showcase their legal research and advocacy skills. Speaking during the event, Justice Ssekaana commended the EOC for organising the competition and thanked IDLO and other partners for their support. He also appreciated the organising committee, Judges, markers, coaches, coordinators, participating universities and students for making the competition a success. He described the competition as more than an academic contest, noting that it is an important exercise in constitutionalism, legal reasoning, professional ethics and human dignity. He added that it provides law students with an opportunity to develop the skills required to confront difficult questions of law and justice before entering court or public service. “Today marks more than the end of a competition. Although moot courts are often seen as academic contests testing students’ research, writing and advocacy, their value extends further. They prepare future legal professionals to confront difficult questions of law and justice before facing them in court or public service,” he said. Reflecting on the theme for the day, he noted that it was particularly appropriate because equality, dignity and inclusion must have meaning in the daily experiences of citizens. He emphasised that these principles become meaningful when institutions, laws and decisions protect people from exclusion, discrimination and humiliation and create genuine opportunities for participation. “Equality is not merely a constitutional expression or an attractive aspiration. It is a principle that must find meaning in the daily experiences of our people. Dignity is not an abstract concept, and inclusion is not simply a matter of policy language. These principles become meaningful when our institutions, laws and decisions protect people from exclusion, discrimination and humiliation, create genuine opportunities for participation, and are reflected in the lived realities of our citizens,” he said. On the issues presented to participants, Justice Ssekaana noted that they reflected challenges faced by real people, including discrimination concealed within seemingly neutral institutional policies, decisions that appear neutral but have unequal consequences, disability-related barriers in education and examinations, stigma and public communication, and affirmative action in the context of different and sometimes compounded forms of disadvantage

Yesterday Lady Justice Eva K. Luswata hosted Justices of the Court of Appeal/Constitutional Court, led by the Deputy Chief Justice, Justice Moses Kazibwe Kawumi, for a quarterly luncheon at her home in Kyanja, Kampala. The luncheon aimed to strengthen collegiality and foster relationships beyond the formal court environment. The luncheon brought together Justices, Registrars, Magistrates and non-judicial staff attached to the Court of Appeal in an informal setting that encouraged interaction, mentorship and reflection on the Court’s work. The Deputy Chief Justice thanked Lady Justice Luswata and her family for hosting the gathering and commended the Justices and staff for attending. He also acknowledged Lady Justice Luswata’s mother, who was present at the luncheon, for her longstanding service to the church and community. He noted that she had taught children through Sunday school for more than 40 years and remained active in church activities. Justice Geoffrey Kiryabwire, Justice of the Court of Appeal and Court Administrator, said such gatherings enable colleagues to know one another beyond the formal court setting. “One of the good things about these home hospitalities is you really get to know a few things which you would not ordinarily know,” he observed. Justice Kiryabwire emphasised that setting aside judicial formalities and hierarchies from time to time helps foster a sense of family and allows colleagues to interact more freely. He traced the home hospitality initiative to former Deputy Chief Justice Emeritus, Justice Richard Buteera, whom he said was the first to invite Court of Appeal Justices to his home in Muyenga. He added that former Deputy Chief Justice, Justice Dr. Flavian Zeija, later encouraged and advanced the initiative. Justice Kiryabwire thanked Lady Justice Luswata for continuing the tradition and opening her home to the Justices and staff. In her remarks, Lady Justice Luswata said the event was held under the theme, “Win-Win Zone,” which captured the mutual benefits of a collegial working environment. She explained that while younger judicial officers can learn from senior colleagues, senior members of the Court can also benefit from the ideas and perspectives of their juniors. She encouraged younger judicial and non-judicial staff to seek mentorship from Justices and other senior colleagues. She noted that the Court’s open and collegial environment supports professional growth and the development of meaningful relationships. “You are lucky to be in a court where you are able to talk to us, older Judges, quite freely. I invite you to do so. I invite you to find mentors,” she said. Sharing her own experience, Lady Justice Luswata said she is mentored by Lady Justice Irene Mulyagonja and that their relationship has developed into a lasting friendship because she remained open to guidance. “So please, hope with somebody. You never know where it will get you, especially when you are with those who are ready to do so,” she said. Lady Justice Luswata also linked the theme of the luncheon to mediation, which she described as an important aspect of the Court’s work. She recalled that she first encountered mediation while serving as a High Court Judge in Jinja, where she was initially sceptical about its effectiveness. Her elevation to the Court of Appeal enabled her to experience mediation in practice and embrace it as an important means of resolving disputes. “For me, it has been a journey. It is saving us time. It is making people realise that litigation sometimes is not the answer to everything,” she said. She added that mediation not only helps address case backlogs and resolve disputes involving billions of shillings, but can also restore relationships, particularly in family disputes. Lady Justice Luswata encouraged members of the Court to support mediation by learning more about the process and developing the skills necessary to facilitate the peaceful resolution of disputes

Court users and residents of Kamwenge gathered in large numbers at Kamwenge Chief Magistrate’s Court this morning, engaging with Judiciary officials on court processes, available services and alternative ways of resolving disputes. The exercise later extended to Kahunge Trading Centre and surrounding communities. The sensitisation campaign, organised by the Communications and Public Relations Registry of the Judiciary, brought together court users, members of the legal profession and justice sector stakeholders. It aimed to equip participants with practical knowledge of court processes and available services, bridge the information gap between the courts and the communities they serve, and strengthen public understanding of the Judiciary. Addressing participants at the court premises, HW Innocent Ahimbisibwe Kagumire encouraged the public to actively participate in such sessions, noting that they provide an opportunity to gain a clearer understanding of court processes and procedures. HW Ahimbisibwe urged participants to share the knowledge gained with their families, friends and neighbours, and encouraged them to embrace Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), which he said can help resolve disputes expeditiously while promoting harmony within communities. Ms. Evas Kobusingye, a Judiciary Client Service Officer, guided participants through key court operations, covering the Small Claims Procedure, mediation, plea bargaining, complaint handling mechanisms, and bail refunds. Participants received Information, Education and Communication (IEC) materials on their rights and Judiciary services. A question-and-answer session also gave them an opportunity to raise concerns and seek clarification on various court-related matters. In attendance were HW Seyiga Abdul Swabull, Magistrate for Nkoma and Kicheche Magistrates’ Courts, and Ms. Naiga Margaret, State Attorney, Kamwenge, among other stakeholders. *Kahunge Trading Centre Outreach.* The exercise later extended to Kahunge Trading Centre and surrounding communities, where residents were taken through court processes and different avenues for resolving disputes, with particular emphasis on Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). The team explained how ADR can help communities settle disputes without necessarily going through a lengthy court process. IEC materials were also distributed in local shops and market areas. The LC1 Chairperson of Kahunge, Mr. Mugabe Nebuchadnezza, commended the Judiciary for bringing its message closer to the community. He called for similar outreaches in neighbouring areas and pledged to promote ADR and serve as an ADR ambassador in his community

Rukungiri High Court held a Regional Court Coordinating Committee (RCC) meeting on September 23, 2026, to address challenges affecting justice delivery and identify practical solutions. The meeting was chaired by the Resident Judge, Lady Justice Susan Kanyange, and attended by representatives from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, Uganda Police Force, Uganda Prisons Service, Magistrates’ Courts, District Local Government, the legal fraternity and other justice-sector institutions. Justice Kanyange emphasised the importance of sustained cooperation among stakeholders. She noted that Magistrates’ Courts were experiencing an increased workload following the enhancement of their pecuniary jurisdiction and informed members that a request had been submitted for the deployment of an additional Magistrate to help manage the growing caseload. She also encouraged stakeholders to promote greater use of plea bargaining and mediation to expedite the resolution of cases and reduce case backlog. During the discussions, stakeholders raised concerns about staffing shortages, prison overcrowding, the transportation of juveniles to court, domestic violence and logistical constraints affecting prosecution services. Members agreed on practical measures to address the challenges and assigned the respective institutions responsibility for implementing the resolutions. In closing the meeting, Justice Kanyange urged stakeholders to follow up on the agreed actions and maintain close cooperation to improve the delivery of justice across the region. The meeting was moderated by HW Henry Twinomuhwezi

The High Court has rejected a three-month adjournment sought by the prosecution in the Jamil Mukulu trial, ordering the State to produce witnesses tomorrow or risk being compelled to close its case. The directive followed the prosecution’s failure to produce six witnesses scheduled to testify during the current session in the trial of Jamil Mukulu and his co-accused, who face charges related to terrorism, murder and other serious offences arising from alleged activities linked to the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF). The trial resumed on Monday, September 21, 2026, and entered its third day today without the prosecution presenting a witness. The prosecution, led by Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions Thomas Jatiko and Richard Birivumbuka, subsequently sought a three-month adjournment, a request opposed by the defence team led by Mr. Henry Kunya. The Court declined the request and directed the prosecution to summon its witnesses to appear tomorrow, either physically or remotely via Zoom. Justice Mike Elubu, who heads the panel, noted that considerable time and resources are invested in preparing for trial sessions and stressed the Court’s duty to guard against undue delays and abuse of court process. The panel referred to Article 28 of the Constitution and Section 17 of the Judicature Act in emphasising the need for the trial to proceed without unnecessary delay. The Court further warned that failure by the prosecution to produce witnesses could leave it to consider available remedies under the Trial on Indictments Act, including granting bail to the accused persons or compelling the prosecution to close its case. The case was adjourned to tomorrow, September 24, 2026, with the prosecution ordered to produce witnesses. The case is being heard by a panel headed by Justice Mike Elubu, with Justice Susan Okalany as Deputy Head, Justice Stephen Mubiru as the third member and Justice Andrew Bashaija as the alternate Judge. The panel is assisted by Deputy Registrar HW Ivan Nkwasibwe.

The Deputy Chief Justice, Justice Moses Kazibwe Kawumi, has warned that financial and cyber fraud is outpacing the justice system’s response, calling for faster investigation, prosecution and adjudication of increasingly sophisticated financial crimes. Justice Kazibwe observed that while fraud can be committed within seconds, investigations may take months and litigation years, creating a gap that must be addressed through stronger technical capacity and a more coordinated response across the justice and financial sectors. He made the remarks earlier today while representing the Chief Justice at the 4th Financial Sector Anti-Fraud Forum at the Marriott Hotel in Kampala. The Forum was convened by the Uganda Bankers’ Association (UBA), Payment Systems Providers Association (PSPA) and Anti-Fraud Consortium (AFC) under the theme, “Safeguarding the Citizen: Beyond Infrastructure, Into Enforcement.” “Fraud, to me, is an industry. Very fast-growing, with the modus operandi changing every time. So as a single bank, as a single organisation, you can’t fight fraud alone,” Justice Kazibwe said. He noted that responsibility for delays in the justice chain cannot be attributed to one institution, since challenges may arise during investigations, evidence gathering, prosecution, case preparation, judicial case management and enforcement of court orders. He proposed regular technical engagements bringing together Judges, prosecutors, investigators, financial intelligence experts, regulators, banks, payment providers and telecommunications specialists to address emerging challenges. *Strengthening judicial capacity* Justice Kazibwe said the increasing use of digital financial services requires Judicial Officers, prosecutors and investigators to better understand the technologies and systems underpinning financial transactions. He highlighted the role of the Judicial Training Institute (JTI) in strengthening judicial capacity and proposed specialised training in financial crime, cyber fraud, digital evidence, electronic payments, cryptocurrency and financial technology, drawing on expertise from relevant financial, regulatory and technical institutions. “We need to learn to serve you better…You may have the money. Let’s partner to train. Approach us, teach us, and collaborate to serve you better,” he said. Justice Kazibwe noted that evidence in financial and cybercrime cases is increasingly digital, dispersed and capable of being altered or lost quickly. He stressed the importance of effective preservation and production of digital evidence, transaction trails and audit logs, authentication of electronic records, chain of custody, and handling of cross-platform and cross-border transactions. He said an effective anti-fraud system must go beyond arrests and convictions to include early detection, professional investigations, efficient adjudication, recovery of stolen funds, restitution to victims and prevention of future vulnerabilities. “The success of an anti-fraud system should not be measured only by arrests and convictions, but also by the recovery of victims’ funds, tracing of unlawful gains, correction of systemic weaknesses and prevention of future vulnerabilities,” he said. The Deputy Chief Justice further called for adequate compensation for victims and consideration of stronger custodial sentences for offenders, given the wider impact of cybercrime on innocent depositors. *Judiciary reforms* Justice Kazibwe said the Judiciary is undertaking reforms under its Sixth Judiciary Strategic Plan for FY2025/26–2029/30, focusing on access to justice, case management, institutional effectiveness and digital transformation. He highlighted the expansion of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), mediation, plea bargaining and the Small Claims Procedure, alongside the rollout of the Electronic Court Case Management Information System (ECCMIS)

The Deputy Chief Justice, Justice Moses Kazibwe Kawumi, has called for a renewed partnership between the Judiciaries of Uganda and Denmark, building on decades of cooperation to address emerging priorities in justice delivery. Justice Kazibwe identified digital transformation, judicial training, access to justice, commercial justice, performance management and people-centred court administration among areas that could anchor a new phase of cooperation. He made the call earlier today during a meeting between the two Judiciaries at the Court of Appeal Conference Hall in Kampala, attended by a Danish delegation led by Justice Stig Glent-Madsen and Denmark’s Ambassador to Uganda, Ms Signe Winding Albjerg. “We respectfully express our desire to see a revival and renewal of judicial cooperation between Uganda and Denmark. We recognise that Denmark’s development cooperation priorities have evolved, just as Uganda’s justice needs have changed,” Justice Kazibwe said. He stressed that Uganda was not seeking to replicate previous programmes but to build on their successes and develop cooperation responsive to contemporary challenges. *Building on a longstanding partnership* Justice Kazibwe traced judicial cooperation between Uganda and Denmark to the late 1980s, noting that it was later strengthened through initiatives including the DANIDA-funded Strengthening of the Judiciary Project. He said Danish support contributed to judicial training, court infrastructure, ICT, court administration, performance management, inspection and integrity. “We received your visit notification with enthusiasm and see it as an opportunity to reconnect two judicial institutions with a history of exchange, development and commitment to the rule of law,” he said. The Deputy Chief Justice noted that hundreds of Ugandan Judicial Officers benefited from Law and Justice Courses through the Danida Fellowship Centre between the mid-1990s and 2015, creating professional relationships and institutional knowledge that continued to influence Uganda’s justice system. He cited the Small Claims Procedure as one of the innovations that benefited from the cooperation, providing ordinary citizens and small businesses with a faster and more cost-effective mechanism for resolving minor civil and commercial disputes. Justice Kazibwe said earlier cooperation in court administration, case management, performance assessment and ICT also provided foundations on which the Judiciary has continued to build through reforms such as the Electronic Court Case Management Information System (ECCMIS) and Performance Enhancement Tool (PET). *New priorities for cooperation* Looking ahead, the Deputy Chief Justice identified opportunities for renewed engagement in judicial and professional development, human rights and access to justice, business and human rights, commercial justice, performance management and digital transformation. He also highlighted Sexual and Gender-Based Violence, professional development opportunities for female Judicial Officers, digitalisation and court-user engagement as areas for further exchange. “We see today’s meeting as more than an exchange of presentations but as an opportunity to open a new chapter,” Justice Kazibwe said. He added that the best way to honour the legacy of previous cooperation was not merely to remember it, but to renew it in ways responsive to present justice needs. *Denmark welcomes renewed engagement* The head of the Danish delegation welcomed the proposal, describing the visit as an opportunity for open dialogue and exchange of experiences between Judicial Officers from the two countries. He expressed willingness to revive the longstanding judicial relationship, including through professional exchanges and discussions on the day-to-day administration of justice
