New CJ pledges independent Judiciary


In an interview about his new appointment, Justice Katureebe, who insisted that he was still treating the news as a “rumour”, pledged to work towards building a strong and independent Judiciary.

He observed: “Building institutions is not something you do in a day. I will build on what my predecessors have left in place.” “There are many people in the Judiciary who are capable, but the commission has looked around and said I am fit for the job,” added Katureebe.

Katureebe’s wife, Bernadette, also pledged to give her husband all the support he needs to carry out his new responsibilities.

Dr. Rugunda pointed out that Katureebe’s appointment still requires the approval of Parliament. However, he hastened to add: “The country has been waiting for an able candidate like Katureebe.”

Katureebe’s appointment was widely applauded by a crosssection of people, including the legal fraternity. Read more
