Africa-Press – Uganda. The Family Division of the High Court has successfully concluded a week-long training exercise on the Electronic Court Case Management Information System (ECCMIS), marking a significant milestone in its digital transformation journey.
The training, which was attended by judges, registrars, and magistrates, aimed to equip participants with the skills and knowledge required to effectively utilize the ECCMIS.
According to Justice John Eudes Keitirima, the Head of the Family Division, the ECCMIS will revolutionize the way the court operates. “This system is going to transform the Division. It will provide an opportunity to improve supervision, and it has an audit trail where all actions and inactions are recorded,” he said.
Justice Keitirima emphasized the importance of embracing the new system, urging staff to support it fully. “Let us give it our best and ensure that no manual papers are accepted in the Registry. Starting next week, everything must be online,” he said.
Mr. Joseph Ssinabulya, the ECCMIS Project Manager, assured participants that his team would continue to offer support to ensure a smooth transition. “When the system is being introduced, it can be challenging, but with time, you adapt,” he explained.
The ECCMIS is a fully-featured system that automates and tracks all aspects of a case life cycle, from initial filing through disposition and appeal. It is expected to improve efficiency, reduce paperwork, and enhance transparency in the court’s operations.
The training was attended by Lady Justices Celia Nagawa and Christine Echokit, Deputy Registrars HW Sarah Tusiime, HW Didas Muhumuza, and HW Samuel Olumo, among others.
