No ULS representatives at the JSC no problem.

1/ The Judicial Service Commission has now advertised for judicial officers under new regulations that sideline the Uganda Law Society and other key stakeholders.

2/ The process is now overseen by a search and recruitment committee whose composition and mandate raise serious constitutional issues.

3/ My decision to withdraw from the race is vindicated by these developments—I cannot lend legitimacy to a process that excludes meaningful participation and threatens judicial independence.

4/ I remain committed to advocating for a truly accountable and representative judiciary.

A good read in the Monitor today.

🚨@DenisKusaasira In you, we discovered a Legal Rebel in suits passionate about defending Rule of Law.

📌It was an honour supporting you. I am confident that your withdrawal from @ug_lawsociety-JSC race is a declaration to continue fighting against injustice from the "Trenches".
