Dokolo Chief Magistrate’s Court Hailed for Timely Justice Delivery, High Case Disposal Rate, Corruption-Free Zone and People-Centred Service.

Dokolo, Uganda | Justice sector stakeholders in Dokolo District have reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening coordination and improving access to timely, people-centred justice during the District Coordination Committee meeting held at Dokolo Chief Magistrate's Court on Friday.

The meeting, chaired by Resident Magistrate Grade I HW Vincent Muzeyi, was held under the theme, "Strengthening Multi-Sectoral Collaboration for Timely, Accessible and People-Centred Justice in Dokolo District."

Addressing representatives from the Judiciary, Uganda Police Force, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, Uganda Prisons Service, local government, religious leaders and other stakeholders, HW Muzeyi thanked them for their continued support, saying teamwork has greatly improved justice delivery in the district.

He updated stakeholders on recent changes within the Judiciary, including the appointment of new top leadership, and outlined the Judiciary's transformation agenda aimed at delivering efficient, accountable and technology-driven justice.

"The Judiciary is moving towards a people-centred justice system where services will increasingly be technology-driven. Court filing, performance assessments and feedback mechanisms are gradually shifting online," he said.

HW Muzeyi revealed that the court has significantly reduced its case backlog, with only a few old land cases still pending, adding that judicial officers are committed to disposing of cases quickly to avoid unnecessary delays that fuel conflicts within communities.

He urged stakeholders to embrace Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and Alternative Justice Systems (AJS), including mediation and culturally accepted methods of conflict resolution, saying such approaches help communities resolve disputes peacefully while reducing pressure on the courts.

HW Muzeyi further commended the Resident District Commissioner's office, Uganda Police Force, the Directorate of Public Prosecutions and Uganda Prisons Service for their cooperation, which has strengthened security and improved justice administration in Dokolo.

Among the court's recent achievements, HW Muzeyi highlighted the acquisition of an official vehicle to facilitate field operations, maintenance of a corruption-free working environment, improved customer experience, enhanced media engagement and increased access to justice through mediation, Small Claims Procedure and daily court hearings.

He noted that during the last quarter, Dokolo Chief Magistrate's Court registered 121 cases and disposed of 81, representing a disposal rate of approximately 67 percent.

However, he expressed concern over the increasing number of divorce cases and the rising involvement of juveniles in capital offences, calling upon parents, religious leaders and community leaders to strengthen family values and guide young people away from crime.

Dokolo Chief Magistrate’s Court yesterday received the Assistant Registrar of the Lira High Court Circuit, HW David Sayuni, who conducted a routine inspection to assess the station’s preparedness for the forthcoming operationalisation of the Dokolo High Court Circuit.

He was accompanied by HW Joe Fay Adoko, Chief Magistrate of Lira and caretaker of Dokolo Chief Magistrate’s Court.

During the visit, the Assistant Registrar toured key sections of the court, including the registry, archives, courtroom, and exhibit store, to evaluate administrative efficiency, records management, and overall readiness.

In his remarks, the Chief Magistrate expressed gratitude for the continued administrative support extended to Dokolo Court. He, however, highlighted several operational challenges affecting service delivery, notably the lack of an alternative power source, unfenced court and residential premises posing security risks, and the absence of a court vehicle to facilitate official duties such as locus visits.

The Assistant Registrar commended HW Muzeyi Vicent, Magistrate Grade One, for his exemplary leadership and management of the station. He praised the strong teamwork among staff, consistent attendance, proper organization of court records, well-maintained archives and exhibit store, and the preservation of a serene and orderly court environment despite existing constraints. He further applauded the station for maintaining professionalism and the display of anti corruption messages around the court.

The Assistant Registrar assured the team that the concerns raised would be escalated to top management for consideration, reaffirming the Judiciary’s commitment to strengthening service delivery and institutional readiness as the Dokolo High Court Circuit becomes operational
