Chief Justice Alfonse Owiny Dollo has cautioned judicial officers against delaying cases, saying it causes case backlog and wastes people’s time and resources.
While commissioning the Shs1.3 billion Mukono High Court building this week, the Chief Justice said judicial officers should stop delaying cases hoping to get money from people involved in those cases.
Justice Owiny Dollo urged the judicial officers to cleanse themselves to save the name of the judiciary.
The registrar of Mukono High Court, Ms Elizabeth Akullo said their commitment is not to embarrass the public.
The principal Judge Flavia Zeija said the launch of the court building was timely and a step in the right direction as it provides additional space for judicial officers.
He said Mukono High Court reported an alarming backlog of 3070 cases because of the enormous volume of workload.
