President Yoweri Museveni has appointed Moses Kaziibwe Kawumi as the new Deputy Chief Justice in a fresh reshuffle within Uganda\u2019s judiciary.<\/p>\n
In the same changes, Agnes Alum was appointed Chief Registrar, one of the key administrative positions within the judicial system.<\/p>\n
The appointments signal another significant development in the ongoing restructuring and strengthening of the judiciary, which plays a central role in the administration of justice, constitutional interpretation, and oversight of court operations across the country.<\/p>\n
The Deputy Chief Justice is the second-highest judicial officer in Uganda and is responsible for supervising the Court of Appeal and the Constitutional Court, while the Chief Registrar oversees the administration and management of courts.<\/p>\n
The appointments are expected to take effect following the required approval and formal processes under Uganda\u2019s judicial appointment framework.<\/p>\n
The reshuffle comes at a time when the judiciary continues to handle high-profile constitutional, electoral, and governance-related cases following the recently concluded general elections and transition into the 12th Parliament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
