Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Chief Justice Alfonse Owiny-Dollo has urged judicial officers to ensure only those sent to jail deserve to be there.<\/b><\/p>\n

Speaking at the swearing-in ceremony of eight judicial officers at the Kampala High Court, the head of the Judiciary said prisons are crowded and should now accommodate only those who deserve to be there.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou must bear in mind that with increased judicial officers across the country, there is proportionate pressure on prison services. Let us ensure the people we send to jail deserve to be there. Let us timely deliver our judgments and let us deal with bail applications promptly and conscientiously,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He also cautioned judicial officers against denying bail to suspects by imposing tough release terms.<\/p>\n

\u201cBail should not be unreasonably denied by imposing impossible terms, but the court must always guard against absconding. Accused persons due for mandatory release should be timely processed and sent to the High Court, which should also act promptly,\u201d the Chief Justice said.<\/p>\n

He also asked the judicial officers to be ambassadors of the Judiciary.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Judicial Oath and the Judicial Code of Conduct should be your guardrail and source of inspiration, if you are to perform effectively in accordance with the demands of your judicial office, under the new Judiciary. The six major principles that underpin our Judicial Code of Conduct are the following: independence, impartiality, integrity, propriety, equality, competence and diligence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The judicial officers include Mr Rogers Kinobe Binega, Ms Goretti Arinaitwe, Ms Suzanne Aisia Musooli, Mr Ivan Nkwasibwe, and Ms Angella Mutatiina Natukunda, who are deputy registrars.<\/p>\n

Others are Mr Alison Nasasira and Mr Joseph Sabiiti Omara, who are both Grade One Magistrates and Ms Juliet Komugisha, an acting assistant registrar..<\/p>\n

Deputy Chief Justice Richard Buteera cautioned the new recruits against perverting justice for personal gains.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe as judicial officers occupy venerated positions in society. It\u2019s an office of honour and dignity. Let each one of you serve with utmost sobriety and integrity,\u201d Mr Buteera said.<\/p>\n

The sworn-in judicial officers now await posting to new duty stations to commence work.<\/p>\n
