Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The Chief Justice (CJ) Alfonse Owiny Dollo has asked government to increasing funding to thr Judiciary saying that \u201cpoor funding has failed them on timely delivery of justice to Ugandans.\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe find a lot of hardships in giving timely justice to Ugandans. When there are limited resources, manpower also becomes limited thus a disservice to the community,\u201d CJ Dollo said.<\/p>\n

The FY2022\/23 budgetary allocation for Uganda\u2019s judiciary was doubled to at least Shs381.6billion, by far less than the two other arms of government.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I am given half of parliament\u2019s budget, then judges and courts would be everywhere in the country. After we fought and our budget was doubled, we are now posting judges and constructing courts at constituency level,\u201d CJ Dollo observed.<\/p>\n

Uganda has about 700 judges that serve the nation\u2019s more than 44million people.<\/p>\n

And for CJ Dollo, the allocation to his Organ is a drop in an ocean considering Uganda\u2019s fast increasing population amid a high cost of living.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, he challenged all citizens to fight corruption that has long-plagued the Judiciary.<\/p>\n

\u201dIt\u2019s true there are some corrupt officers in the Judiciary but we get them from your communities. We are working day and night to remove them from the system,\u201d he told Rukungiri and Kanungu District leaders during his two-day Kigezi Sub- region tour.<\/p>\n

Uganda is also moving to establish an appeal court in Mbarara City \u201cto work on the people of Ankole and Kigezi Sub-region respectively in a bid to reduce on the thousands of case backlog the Judiciary is faced with.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery judge who fails to handle a case within a year will have to make a report explaining why and will face disciplinary action,\u201d CJ Dollo warned at Rukungiri magistrate court on July 18.<\/p>\n
