The Deputy Chief Justice Designate, Justice Moses Kawumi Kazibwe, has called upon judicial officers to uphold consistency in electoral jurisprudence and embrace technological advancements in the adjudication of election disputes.
Justice Kazibwe made the remarks while officially closing a two-day training on the Management of Election Petition Appeals for Justices of the Court of Appeal at the Court of Appeal Building Conference Hall.

The training, organized by the Judicial Training Institute (JTI), brought together Justices of the Court of Appeal, Registrars attached to the Court, and Magistrates (Research) serving under the Justices, with the aim of strengthening the Judiciary’s preparedness to handle election-related disputes ahead of the forthcoming electoral cycle.

Justice Kazibwe described the training as both timely and significant, noting that election petitions remain among the Judiciary’s most important constitutional responsibilities because of their direct impact on democratic governance and public confidence in state institutions.
“At the heart of democratic governance lies the electoral process, and election petitions directly affect public confidence in democratic institutions and the rule of law,” he said.

He commended the Judicial Training Institute for organizing the programme and thanked the facilitators, panelists, and participants for their active engagement and commitment throughout the training.

Justice Kazibwe observed that electoral processes are increasingly becoming technology-driven, requiring judicial officers to continuously build their capacity to understand and evaluate electronic evidence, digital records, and emerging technologies used in election management.
“We are adjudicating election disputes in an era of rapid technological advancement. Electoral evidence is increasingly generated, stored and transmitted electronically through systems such as biometric voter verification, electronic results transmission and cloud-based data management,” he noted.

He emphasized that while technology presents opportunities for greater efficiency and transparency, it also demands a deeper understanding of digital evidence, data integrity, and cybersecurity among judicial officers.

The Deputy Chief Justice Designate further highlighted the importance of the sessions on electoral jurisprudence, which examined decisions from the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal across several electoral cycles. He noted that discussions on vote recounts, affidavit evidence, voter bribery, electoral offences, voter disenfranchisement, and the substantiality test had enriched participants’ understanding of the evolving principles governing electoral disputes.

Justice Kazibwe stressed the need for consistency in judicial decision-making, observing that certainty and predictability in the application of legal principles are essential for maintaining public trust in the justice system.
“As appellate judges, our responsibility extends beyond resolving individual disputes. It includes contributing to a coherent body of electoral jurisprudence that can guide litigants, stakeholders, and lower courts,” he said.

He also underscored the unique constitutional role of the Court of Appeal as the first and, in many instances, final appellate court in election disputes, noting that the Court’s decisions significantly influence both electoral jurisprudence and public confidence in the administration of justice.

Justice Kazibwe acknowledged the contributions made by stakeholders from the Electoral Commission, the Attorney General’s Chambers, the Bar, and academia, whose presentations enriched discussions and enhanced the Judiciary’s readiness to effectively resolve electoral disputes.

He further welcomed ongoing efforts towards the Judiciary’s digital transformation and the emerging use of artificial intelligence in judicial administration

The Head of Luwero High Court Circuit, Justice Godfrey Himbaza, has called for stronger collaboration among justice sector institutions, emphasizing that effective administration of justice depends on communication, cooperation and coordination between all stakeholders.

Justice Himbaza made the remarks during a courtesy visit to the Nakasongola District Security Committee (DSC), where he reaffirmed the Court’s commitment to working closely with sister agencies in promoting access to justice and the rule of law.

The Judge was received by the Resident District Commissioner (RDC), Mr. Bandeba Festus Apuuli, and the District Internal Security Officer (DISO), Lt. Francis Mpaulo, before holding discussions with members of the District Security Committee.

Addressing the meeting, Justice Himbaza described the justice system as a chain in which every institution plays a critical role.
“The administration of justice cannot be achieved by the Judiciary alone. The justice system is a chain, and for that chain to function effectively, all agencies must move together through communication, cooperation and coordination,” he said.

The Head of Circuit used the occasion to update members on key reforms and innovations within the Judiciary aimed at improving access to justice and enhancing service delivery.

He highlighted the recent amendment of the Magistrates Courts Act, which expanded the pecuniary jurisdiction of Magistrates’ Courts, allowing civil and land disputes valued at up to UGX 200 million to be handled at that level.

Justice Himbaza also underscored the Judiciary’s continued emphasis on Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), particularly mediation in civil matters and plea bargaining in criminal cases, noting that these mechanisms have significantly contributed to faster and more amicable resolution of disputes.

He called upon members of the District Security Committee to continue supporting mediation initiatives at the grassroots and to work closely with the Judiciary in ensuring the peaceful execution of court orders.

The Judge further informed the committee that the construction of a permanent High Court building for Luwero Circuit is under consideration by the Judiciary’s Top Management, a development he said would greatly improve working space and enhance service delivery across the region.

Speaking on behalf of the District Security Committee, the RDC, Mr. Bandeba Festus Apuuli, welcomed the visit, describing it as a landmark visit that demonstrated the Court’s commitment to strengthening inter-agency cooperation.

He reaffirmed the Committee’s commitment to teamwork and pledged continued support for Alternative Dispute Resolution mechanisms as an effective means of resolving conflicts within communities.

The Chairperson of Nakasongola District Local Government, Mr. Ssemanda Rodgers, also commended Justice Himbaza for the engagement and reiterated the District’s commitment to fostering communication, cooperation and coordination among justice sector actors.

Justice Himbaza was accompanied by the Deputy Registrar of the Luwero High Court, HW Catherine Agwero.

The meeting was attended by the Deputy Chief Administrative Officer, the Resident State Attorney, representatives of the security agencies and members of the District Executive Committee

Uganda's future will be shaped by leaders who are prepared, ethical, and committed to service.

At the grand finale of the Journey to the Boardroom Cohort 3 programme at Sheraton Hotel Kampala, I commended the organizers for nurturing a new generation of leaders equipped to serve in governance, business, and other spheres of society.

I emphasize that the world needs more than competent professionals; it needs leaders of integrity who understand governance and are committed to creating the future rather than merely managing the present.

I congratulate all the participants for investing in their personal growth and applaud their resilience, teamwork, and commitment throughout this journey. While some will walk away with prizes, everyone leaves with something even more valuable; knowledge, experience, and networks that will continue to shape their leadership journey and impact society positively.

Mubende High Court yesterday, held its Fourth Quarter Regional Coordinating Committee (RCC) meeting at the Court premises in Mubende, bringing together key justice sector actors and stakeholders from across the circuit.

The meeting was chaired by the Resident Judge, Justice Tadeo Asiimwe, who welcomed participants from the districts of Mityana, Kasanda, Mubende, and Kyegegwa. In his opening remarks, the Judge emphasized the importance of the RCC as a platform for strengthening collaboration among justice sector institutions, updating stakeholders on developments within the Judiciary, and receiving valuable feedback aimed at improving service delivery.

Justice Asiimwe informed members that Mubende High Court had been gazetted for the establishment of a Court of Appeal station, a development that will further decentralize judicial services and enhance access to justice in the region. He appealed to local leaders to support this milestone by identifying and availing suitable land for the construction of the new court facilities.

The Resident Judge also highlighted the growing workload at the High Court, noting that despite the challenges posed by limited physical space, the Judiciary was fully aware of the situation and was taking steps to address the infrastructure constraints.

He further updated members on the recent amendments to the Magistrates Courts Act, which expanded the jurisdiction of Magistrates’ Courts. The reforms, he explained, are intended to bring justice closer to the people by enabling more matters to be determined at lower courts, thereby reducing the need for litigants to travel to the High Court.

Responding to the updates, stakeholders commended the Judiciary for its open-door policy and noted significant improvements in collaboration among justice sector institutions. They, however, appealed for the deployment of substantive Chief Magistrates to the gazetted districts of Kyegegwa and Kasanda, observing that the absence of these judicial officers had affected access to justice in those areas.

The members also appreciated the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) for posting a State Attorney to Kasanda District but expressed concern over the lack of a State Attorney at Kakindu Court in Mityana, which they said had negatively impacted the handling of criminal cases.

To further enhance access to justice, stakeholders proposed the decentralization of criminal sessions to Kyegegwa, Mityana, and Kasanda, arguing that conducting sessions closer to the communities would reduce costs for victims and witnesses while improving the overall administration of justice.

The meeting was moderated by HW Kinobe Binega Rogers, the Deputy Registrar of Mubende High Court. It was attended by Resident District Commissioners and their deputies, Chief Administrative Officers, leaders from the Uganda Police Force and Uganda Prisons Service, Chief Magistrates and Magistrates within the circuit, representatives of the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, advocates, civil society organisations including Justice Centres Uganda and Redeem International, business community leaders, as well as probation and community service officers
