KAMPALA. The judiciary has, in a fairly large shake up, reshuffled at least 22 judicial officers at the lower Bench in a bid to improve service delivery throughout the country.
The officers affected are at the ranks of registrars, deputy registrars, chief magistrates and Grade One magistrates.
According to the transfer schedule released on Thursday by the Acting Chief Registrar, Mr Isaac Muwata, 10 of the judicial officers transferred, were recently appointed on promotion by the Judicial Service Commission while 12 other officers were transferred to different stations.
The transfers also targeted those officers who had overstayed at particular stations.
Mr Muwata also explained that the transfers were aimed at filing the vacant positions in the recently created magisterial areas.
He added that all the transfers shall be effective on June 1, 2018.
Notable in this transfer is Mr Ereemye who previously handled former presidential candidate Dr Kizza Besigye’s treason case at Nakawa Court and Dr Stella Nyanzi’s computer misuse case at Buganda Road Court.
