In a bid to improve judicial efficiency and service delivery, the Judiciary of Uganda has announced the transfer of 28 judicial officers, including Registrars and Magistrates.

Chief Justice Alfonse Chigamoy Owiny-Dollo welcomed the decision, emphasizing that the transfers aim to address staffing gaps and ensure justice is delivered effectively.

He urged the transferred officers to uphold professionalism and integrity in their new roles, stating, “Let the people see and feel the justice that we have committed to delivering under the new Judiciary.”

The transfers, which were effected on March 14, were overseen by Acting Chief Registrar, Her Worship Pamella Lamunu Ocaya.

She noted that the redeployments were carefully considered to optimize the utilization of judicial resources while maintaining integrity and efficiency.

Several Chief Magistrates have also been reassigned, including Her Worship Mfitundinda George, who moves from Kamwenge to Mayuge, and Her Worship Atim Harriet Okello, now stationed in Kamwenge.

The changes also affect Magistrates Grade I, with officers like Her Worship Otwao Fidelis transferring from Lyantonde to the Chief Registrar’s office as a Personal Assistant, and Her Worship Dr. Irene Namae moving from the Supreme Court to the Court of Appeal.
