The Judiciary has promised to take disciplinary action against their driver who threatened to kill the judge over alleged poor remuneration in an audio clip that went viral.
Pius Bigirimana, the Judiciary permanent secretary, told journalists in Kampala yesterday that driver Stanley Kisambira used wrong channels to present his grievances.
In the clip, Kisambira claimed he receives Shs235,000 quarterly as salary and the same amount in allowances.
However, Bigirimana dispelled talk that Kisambira and other drivers of the Judiciary are poorly paid.
He said that Kisambira’s monthly salary is more than Shs1.3m on top of that, he has got an insurance card.
According to Bigirimana, all drivers at the Judiciary earn the same amount of money.
Kisambira told journalists yesterday after his release from police custody that he sent the audio through the Judiciary WhatsApp group, and never harboured intentions of leaking it to the public.
Derrick Namakajjo, the lawyer of Mr Kisambira, said his client, who was released on police bond yesterday, is being charged with offensive communication.
He said Kisambira communicated to his bosses through the right channel.
