‘’The Judiciary is pushing to better your remuneration. Although we faced a setback from Cabinet, the Chief Justice has written to the President so don’t lose hope,’’ he said.
The PJ made the remarks while he concluded his inspection of courts under the Mukono High Court Circuit. During the three-day inspection, the principal judge received reports of improved service delivery as well as heightened levels of integrity in the courts.
Therefore, he urged staff to keep up the good work and avoid temptations of ‘short termism’ vices such as corruption.
He noted that the administration has not forgotten the staff’s financial constraints. He said they have a new Judiciary where they are supposed to determine their own terms of reference.
The institution has to go through a transitional period following the enactment of the Administration of Judiciary act according to the PJ.
He said in this period, a phased implementation of its provisions will be done. This includes migrating administrative staff from Public Service to the Judiciary Service.
Ms. Sarah Langa, the chief Registrar, on her part appealed to the staff to prepare for a new Judiciary. She also advised them to drop the vices that are obstacles to justice delivery.
She highlighted the setup of Audio-Visual link facilities in all high court circuits and some Chief Magistrate courts. On top of those, she talked about the construction of a Judiciary central archive, and the recruitment of judicial officers among other things.
On the other hand, she decried the practice of some judicial officers who leave cases pending due to promotion.
The principal judge and CR tasked the judicial officers to draft a list of all cases pending judgment. They said culpable officers will be required to deliver the judgments thereof.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
