President Museveni has told the new 12 judges of the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal/Constitutional Court to weed out corrupt politicians and public officials.
According to Mr Solomon Muyita, the Judiciary senior communications officer, President Museveni told the judges during the closed swearing-in ceremony at State House Entebbe, on Friday morning.
The President was quoted to have spoken tough on politicians who join politics with a greedy motive of making money and bribing voters to get elected.
According to Mr Muyita, Mr Museveni cited the example of Bukonzo East MP Yokasi Bihande Bwambale who was recently removed from Parliament by the Constitutional Court following his conviction for corruption in the High Court for stealing Shs20m of the Constituency Development Fund.

We have been organising the politics of the country and built a disciplined army,” Mr Muyita quoted the President as telling the judges. Read more
