The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has said it has started investigating the conduct of Chief Justice Alfonse Owiny Dollo in handling the 2021 election petition by National Unity Platform’s Robert Kyagulanyi, also known as Bobi Wine.
Lawyer Male Mabirizi early this week started the process seeking to remove Dollo from office over alleged misconduct and incompetence and the process started with a petition to the Judicial Service Commission, a body mandated to recruit judicial officers and regulate their conduct.
However, in a response to Mabirizi, the Judicial Service Commission has said it has kicked off investigations into the allegations tabled by the maverick lawyer.
The lawyer avers that whereas he filed an application seeking to stay all proceedings in the election petition by Kyagulanyi, the Chief Justice never shared the same with his fellow justices on the panel.
