Africa-Press – Uganda. The Judiciary has deployed 48 newly-appointed judicial officers at the rank of Grade One Magistrate to different stations across the country in a bid to take services closer to the people.
Yesterday’s changes have also seen 17 magistrates transferred.
According to a press statement from the Judiciary last evening, in the new deployments, Goma, Kangulumira, Gomba, Mbirizi, Kibuku, Nakisunga, and Lamwo courts have been fully operationalised with Grade One Magistrates.
Similarly, courts at Amuru, Apala, Kalungu, and Bugembe have now received substantive magistrates.
In the first of its kind, some magistrates have been attached to the chambers of justices and judges following the review of the judicial structure that elevated the position of research officers to the position of Grade One Magistrate.
The Chief Registrar, Ms Sarah Langa Siu, said the deployments take immediate effect while the transfers are effective January 1, 2022.
Her office assists the Chief Justice to carry out the management of the Judiciary on a day-today basis and heads registrars and magistrates.
The Chief Registrar is also the official spokesperson of the Judiciary.
