The Hon. Chief Justice, Hon. Justice Bart Katureebe said the public is free to criticize the Judiciary for it will help in making reforms that are necessary to improve on the way they dispense justice.
"We have opened toll free lines for people to call and raise complaints, so you the people of Busoga, utilize them and forget about the perception that we do not want to be criticized. For us we want criticism so that we help you and you help us to show where we have gone wrong for correction,” Hon. Justice Katureebe said.
He made the remarks on June 10, 2015 at the High Court premises in Jinja during interaction with members of the public shortly after he toured Bugungu Government Prison.
He was in the company of the Hon. Principle Judge, Hon. Justice Yorokamu Bamwine, the Solicitor General, Mr Francis Atuke, the President of the Uganda Law Society, Ms Ruth Sebatindira, and the Minister of Justice, Mr Kahinda Otafiire, and the Commissioner General of Prisons, Dr Johnson Byabashaija.
People raised complaints about the way land cases are managed. Hon. Justice Katureebe promised to follow it up but also added that people should always understand that there is always a winner and loser in any verdict.
