In Uganda, habeas corpus is inviolable under Articles 23(9) and 44(d) of the Constitution. It cannot be suspended. Judges must uphold this right and grant the writ whenever its legal requirements are met. No authority is above judicial scrutiny. #RuleOfLaw
NO ADVOCATE SHOULD STAND ALONE.
I will champion a ULS Advocates’ Protection Unit, with a 24-hour emergency reporting channel and rapid legal support for colleagues facing arrest, threats or interference because of their professional work.
Every advocate deserves protection, regardless of political affiliation or the client they represent. A fearless Bar is essential to defending the rights of every Ugandan.
Every citizen deserves due process, regardless of who they are or what they are accused of. We must defend it for everyone if we expect it to protect us.
Thank you, Rachael, for your kind endorsement and confidence in my leadership. Together, we will tackle the challenges facing lawyers and build a profession where every member has the opportunity to thrive.

TIMELY JUSTICE: PREDICTABLE HEARINGS, FASTER DECISIONS
Delays in hearing cases and delivering judgments hurt clients and legal practice. As ULS President, I will champion a joint ULS–Judiciary programme for predictable hearings, timely judgments and fewer unnecessary adjournments. @JudiciaryUG
