Retired Supreme Court Judge, George Kanyeihamba has decried bribery in Uganda’s judicial system. He requests the parliament of Uganda to make a commission of inquiry to look into the failures in the Judiciary and the legal Profession as a whole.

Justice Kanyeihamba’s voice adds on a number of allegations of corruption and unethical conduct by some Judicial Officers and some lawyers.

Justice Kanyeihamba notes that there is need for parliament and the government in general to address inadequacies in the judicial service if the rule of law is to take root in Uganda.

The retired judge says that there is evidence of inefficiency, incompetence and corruption in Uganda’s Judiciary.  He explains that the misconduct of some of the judicial Officers could be that they are poorly remunerated in their exercise of duty.

Justice Kanyeihamba also regrets delays in delivery of justice, loss of files and interference of the court process by president Museveni’s government.
