The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) of Uganda has appointed 42 judicial officers to various levels of judicial service in the country, leveraging powers it holds according to article 48 of the 1995 constitution of Uganda.
The commission appointed 22 registrars and assistant registrars, 20 chief magistrates, in acting capacity for a period of one year.
In the same sitting, the commission also appointed 22 court clerks and 33 office attendants, marking the first time it has appointed staff of these categories, owing to the fact that they were previously recruited by the Public Service Commission.
The commission noted that these appointments, which include support staff will go a long way in improving access to justice and reduce case backlog in the country.
