| Justice Jotham Tumwesigye |
Supreme Court Justice Jotham Tumwesigye was on September 7, 2015 sworn-in as the ninth member to the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), replacing Hon. Justice Bart Katureebe, who recently was appointed Chief Justice.
Upon taking oath, Hon. Justice Tumwesigye promised to swiftly deal with errant judicial officers, so that wrong characters are up rooted from the judiciary that has been grappling with a bad image.
Hon. Justice Tumwesigye will be representing the Judiciary on the Commission that is headed by Hon. Justice James Ogoola.
The Hon. Chief Justice, who administered the oath, reminded Hon. Justice Tumwesigye of the crucial role that the commission he has joined plays in as far as recommending suitable candidates to the appointing authority for appointment. He asked him to read from the same page as other commissioners.
The Chief Justice also took the same forum to brief the members of the commission about the issues that they discussed with President Museveni when they met him on September 2, 2015.
Speaking at the same swearing in function that was held in the chambers of the Chief Justice, Hon. Lady Justice Dr. Esther Kisaakye, a member to the JSC, welcomed Hon. Justice Tumwesigye to the commission before asking him to make sure that the vacant positions at the Supreme Court are filled in time.
