Justice, Law and Order Budget Framework Paper FY 2018/19
Sector: Justice, Law and Order
Foreword
In the financial year 2017/18 the Justice Law and Order Sector (JLOS) started implementing the fourth Strategic Development Plan (SDP IV). Therefore FY 2018/19 is the second year of operation of the SDP IV. The focus of the third Strategic Development Plan was to strengthen legal frameworks and improve service delivery processes, protecting the most vulnerable, improving access to services and enhancing human rights and observance and accountability.
JLOS, now in operation for 18 years, is a significant innovation. It is a holistic approach focused on improving the administration of justice, maintenance of law and order as well as the promotion, protection and respect of human rights. JLOS as a sector brings together 17 institutions responsible for administering justice, maintaining law and order and promoting the observance of human rights.
The sector has registered significant growth in public confidence, satisfaction and independence over the years. Living to the promise to increase access to JLOS services as outlined in the Third Sector Investment Plan, JLOS has seen major improvements in the enhancement of access to its services. This is reflected in the increased case disposal from an average of 86,000 cases in 2011/12 to an average of 141,809 cases in 2016/17.
The presence of sector institutions was also increased at district level through the establishment of new service points covering 82% of the districts and the construction of infrastructure targeting frontline JLOS service points now covering 59.8% of the districts compared to 30% in 2010/11.

Tackling concerns of human rights observance and accountability in JLOS was one of the fundamental policy focus areas for the JLOS SIP III. Strategically, the Sector has undertaken to enhance human rights awareness and practice at institutional and sectoral levels with a view to reduce the incidence of human rights violations. Fundamental achievements registered included enhanced human rights awareness, reduction in pre-trial detainees, expanded functional human rights mechanisms and increased disposal of human rights complaints. Enhancing accountability has been fundamentally anchored on mainstreaming the National Policy on Zero Tolerance to Corruption and entrenching a culture of accountability in management of public services by implementing the sector anti-corruption strategy. Achievements registered have not EHHQDEVROXWHODUJHO\GXHWRUHVRXUFHFRQVWUDLQWVDQGWKHIDFWWKDWV\VWHPLFFKDQJHVDUHRQJRLQJ0\ULDGRI challenges and outstanding work is evident.
A strong harmonised and consistent legal, regulatory and policy environment is conducive for national development and is a core public good under the mandate of the Justice Law and Order Sector. Under this Outcome, JLOS institutions implemented activities aimed at creating a strong, harmonized and consistent legal, regulatory and policy environment conducive for national development. This was part of the sector contribution to enhancing productivity, growth, competitiveness and socio-economic transformation.
Increase in proportion of the public confident in the enforcement of existing laws; increase in the use of Alternative Dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms; and increase in target population with access to updated laws. JLOS has endeavoured to create an enabling regulatory environment to achieve the national development goals through strengthening the national legislative framework and enforcing various policy regimes for a harmonious and all-inclusive development of Uganda. Over the past year the proportion of the public confident in the enforcement of existing laws has increased as shown by the high business confidence index of 57.73% and strong investor protection raking now at 95th position from 116 out of 144 countries in DFFRUGLQJWR7KH*OREDO&RPSHWLYHQHVV5HSRUW7KHXVHRI$OWHUQDWLYH'LVSXWH5HVROXWLRQ Justice, Law and Order Budget Framework Paper FY 2018/19
Sector: Justice, Law and Order mechanisms exponentially increased and the success rate also increased from 26% to over 55%.
In SDP IV, the sector is continuing with building justice delivery systems that ease accessibility and enhance affordability of civil justice while ensuring effectiveness of criminal investigations, prosecution, adjudication and correctional systems at all levels.
The newly approved fourth Strategic Development Plan, will focus on three outcomes which are fully aligned to the NDP II. These include: i.Infrastructure and access to JLOS services enhanced; ii.Observance of human rights and fight corruption promoted; iii.Commercial justice and the environment for competitiveness strengthened.
However, achievements of SDP IV will greatly depend on the commitment of the Government in providing the much needed funding to deliver the promises made therein. Sector institutions struggle to deliver their mandates due to inadequate budget provisions. The sector requests that unfunded priorities be considered to enhance attainment of the sector objectives and hence enhance the delivery of services across all sector institutions.

V5: VOTE CHALLENGES FOR 2018/19 AND ADDITIONAL FUNDING REQUESTS
Vote Challenges for FY 2018/19
High Staff Turnover:
The Ministry is faced with the challenge of retaining State Attorneys due to the low remuneration compared to the private sector. As a result, the turnover of the staff has remained high leading to loss of skilled staff.
Ongoing arbitration cases:
The Ministry is handling arbitration cases filed against the Government of Uganda (Heritage oil: PCA cases numbers 2011-12, 2011- 13 Heritage oil and Gas limited vs Government of Uganda; International Criminal Court of Justice: DRC vs Uganda. These cases have no budget provision in the MTEF ceiling. The Ministry proposes 4.5bn to enable officers handle these cases.
Operationalisation of the new Structure
Filling the vacant posts in the approved structure requires an additional UGX.1.5bn on the wage provision. The filling and operationalization of the new structure will help boost court attendance and delivery of the legal services which are the mandate of the Ministry.
Gratuity expenses
Eighteen (18) staff retired and they have never got their gratuity. Of these 11 are male and 07 are female. The processing of their benefits was delayed by Ministry of Public Service. In next Financial year 2018-2019, Four (04) staff are to retire. Of these two (02) are female and two (02) are male. The gratuity for the pensioners is not provided for in the MTEF. There is need for a provision of 1.062bn to cater for the gratuity expenses.
Escalating Court Awards:
Despite the effective defending of Government in Court, the office of the Attorney General has seen the liability grow from UGX. 249bn in FY 2012/13 to over UGX.865bn at the end of FY 2015/16. The contingent liability of Government against uncompleted civil matters (ongoing cases) is estimated at UGX.6.619 Trillion. The major causes of the growing liability include lack of institutional and individual accountability, failure of State witnesses to attend Court and poor logistical facilitation of the Attorney Generals Chambers. It is pertinent that Government must contain the ever escalating liability on Court awards. To do this there is need to introduce punitive and administrative sanctions on errant officials; MDAs should be accountable; decentralize payment of Court Awards; and strengthen Attorney Generals Chambers.
Inadequate funding for operations:
The total budget provision of UGX.85.5bn is inadequate for effective service delivery. Of this UGX.32Bn is for the JLOS SWAp development fund, UGX.33bn for Court Awards, UGX.3.5Bn for wages, UGX. 3.4bn for rent leaving only UGX.12.5bn for operations. We need an additional UGX.8.5bn to boost our operational budget to effectively carry out the ministry mandate. The ministry¶s vehicle fleet is also depleted which affects the ability of the State Attorneys to attend Court across the country. The Directorate of Civil Litigation currently has 5 vehicles to transport Lawyers to Magistrates Courts, High Court, Court of Appeal, Supreme Court and other Tribunals across the country.
Incomplete submission of requests by MDAs
Delays by MDAs to respond to requests for clarification and/ or additional information to the requests made for Legal Advice and clearance of contracts; creates delays in the delivery of services.
Inadequate understanding of the legislative process by stakeholders
Many stakeholders don¶t understand the legislative process and therefore there is need for sensitization.

V5: VOTE CHALLENGES FOR 2018/19 AND ADDITIONAL FUNDING REQUESTS
Vote Challenges for FY 2018/19
VOTE CHALLENGES Operationalization of the new staff structure Following Cabinet decision to restructure MDAs, under minute number 77 (CT. 2016). The Ministry is in the process of implementing the new structure in a phased manner as guided by MoFPED. The approved staffing structure of the Ministry Headquarters is 270 of which only 109 are in post (40.4%) leaving 161 (59.6%) vacant positions. This excludes Amnesty Commission which has a total of 34 staff. With the current allocation of the wage bill of Shs 1.953bn for FY 2018/19, the Ministry will have a wage shortfall of Shs. 0.774bn. The Ministry requires additional wage bill of Shs 0.774bn to meet its sufficient wage bill of Shs. 2.727bn for FY 2018/19. The additional wage bill is required to implement the structure of the Directorate of Community Service and Planning and Policy Analysis Department in a phased manner. Coordination, supervision and monitoring of all the entities under the Ministry of Internal Affairs The budget for the Ministry Headquarters is not adequate to support its operations. This gap undermines and compromises the Ministry Headquarters capacity to deliver on its core function of policy and strategic guidance, operational support and coordination of the functions of its entities to ensure internal security, peace and stability in the country. This results to weak coordination, low service delivery and standards, wastage and duplication of resources, and low image and publicity of the Ministry. The current budget of UGX 200 million is inadequate. Additional UGX 1.9 bn is required. Replenish the vehicle fleet 30 Justice, Law and Order Vote Budget Framework Paper FY 2018/19
Vote:009 Ministry of Internal Affairs
The Ministry currently has a budget of UGX 1.2bn of which UGX 0.45bn is earmarked for procurement of vehicles. The fleet is old and requires replenishment to effectively support activities in the field under the different departments under the Ministry Headquarters. The Ministry requires additional UGX 1.2bn to procure vehicles for field work especially for Government Security Office, Coordination of Prevention of Trafficking in Persons and Community Service.
Coordination of Regional Integration Initiatives This Ministry is required to fast track the Northern Corridor Integration initiatives, E.A Political Federation, Immigration, Tourism, Trade, Labour and Services and Regional Peace and Security UGX 1.5bn is required to implement the initiative. However, only UGX 300 million is provided for this leaving a shortfall of UGX 1.2 billion for the activities. Social reintegration of offenders and supervision Offenders need to be rehabilitated and resettled so as to reduce opportunities of re-offending through Offender empowerment, rehabilitation and reintegration programmes. Failure to implement implies that offenders will not be rehabilitated leading to repeat offending. The need to ensure compliance with the orders, placement institution compliance and quality assurance facilitates increased usage of Community Service Orders. Failure to implement will make the programme to lose credibility, non-performance as ordered by Court. Additional UGX 1.235bn is required. Operationalize the Prevention of Trafficking in Persons Act 2009 Section 21 of the PTIP Act 2009 provides for an office to be created to coordinate, monitor and oversee the implementation of the Act. Through this office, the Ministry is required to initiate and fast track the implementation of national strategies to prevent human trafficking, including review and development of appropriate national legal and policy frameworks, provision of temporary welfare support for victims of trafficking during rescue, provision of field technical support for investigations & prosecution. The office requires UGX1.5bn for the effective implementation of the above mentioned activities. Demobilization, resettlement and reintegration of reporters 8,875 reporters have so far been reintegrated out of the 27,500 reporters demobilized. There is need to provide resettlement and socio-economic reintegration support to the remaining 18,625 ex- combatants. Additional UGX 4.5bn is required to support the socio-economic reintegration of 6,000 reporters.

However, while the total target for the quarter was 32,459 , the above higher disposal was attributed to; a)The efficiency of the Registry for Magistrates Affairs and Data Management in ensuring complete, accurate and timely submission of Court Performance data. b)The newly appointed Chief Magistrates and Magistrates Grade One have improved Case disposal. c)The adoption of Mediation and Small Claims Procedure has further expedited the disposal of cases.
However, the growth in case backlog was due increased number of cases filled.
Proposal for improvement:
There is need to improve the disposal rate by operationalizing, adequately staffing and equipping all the newly gazetted courts.
&DSDFLW\%XLOGLQJRIVWDIILQWKH-XGLFLDU\
The Judicial studies Institute in liaison with the Human Resource department organised induction trainings for the newly recruited non Judicial staff. Top management realized that while Judicial Officers had been inducted, several non Judicial staff had missed out and thus prioritized the activity.

Financial performance
The major execution challenge for the judiciary was inadequate release in the Development Budget (48%); existence of staffing gaps, emerging spending pressures under the recurrent budget such as the need for induction for new non Judicial staff in as well as the time bound disposal of election petitions and this affected execution of the planned outputs.

Recurrent Budget Component
1. Case Disposal
The Courts registered a total case disposal of 38,636 cases. Despite the industrial action by the State Attorneys in July,2017 and that of the Judicial Officers in August,2017 all the Court levels were able to perform higher than what they had targeted. The good performance is attributed to; a) The Ushs 2.5bn funding injected in Courts for Quarter 1 which increased focus on achievement of set targets and better reporting due to automation of courts; b. The use of Sessions to dispose of cases; c. The use of Plea Bargaining in criminal cases, Small Claims Procedure (SCP) and Mediation where 265 new mediators were trained in Gulu, Arua & Lira; d. Concentration on Judgment writing at the Supreme Court.
It should, however, be noted that with the exception of the Supreme Court,none of the Courts was able to clear more Cases than those registered. There is need to operationalise the newly gazetted Courts with adequate equipment and Staffing. The cases disposed of are broken down per court level as below; i) Supreme Court Performance: the court had a target of 7 cases and disposed of 19 cases.
At the beginning of the Quarter, the Court had 113 cases Brought Forward and 8 were registered. Of these cases, 19 were completed and this left a total of 102 pending cases. An additional Ush 50 M of the 2.5 bn was injected in to Court Sessions hence putting focus on achievement of set targets and better reporting due to automation ii) Court of Appeal (CoA) Performance: the court had a target of 155 cases and disposed of 215 cases. (Including 21 Election Petition Appeals and 13 Election Petition Applications).
At the beginning of the Quarter, the Court had 7,714 cases Brought Forward and 397 Registered. Of these cases, 215 were completed with a total of 7,896 pending cases. An additional Ush 320 M of the 2.5 bn was injected in to Court Sessions hence putting focus on achievement of set targets and better reporting due to automation. There is need to consider the decentralization of Court of Appeal. In line with the need for increased staffing, the Court of Appeal should be separated from the Constitutional Court. iii) High Court Performance: the court had a target of 4,025 cases and disposed of 5,894 cases.
At the beginning of the Quarter, the Court had 59,055 cases Brought Forward and 7,819 Registered. Of these cases 5,894 were completed with a total of 61,345 pending cases. $QDGGLWLRQDO8VK1.4 bn of the 2.5 bn was injected in to Court Sessions hence putting focus on achievement of set targets and better reporting due to automation 483 M of the 2.5 bn was spent on training of Mediators
There is need to fast track the resolution of parliament to increase the number of Judges from 50 to 82 so as to fully operationalize the twenty (20) High Court Circuits.
At the High Court level, a resolution of Parliament increasing the number of Judges from 50 to 82 is pending.
iv) Magistrates Court Performance: the court had a target of 32,459 cases and disposed of 32,873 cases.
At the beginning of the Quarter, the Court had 85,531 cases Brought Forward and 35,368 Registered. Of these cases, 32,873 were completed with a total of 88,026 pending cases.
At the Chief Magistrates' level, the number of Chief Magistrate Courts should be increased from 47 to 100. At the Magistrate Gr.1 level, the number of Magistrates should be increased from 215 to 587 as per the approved structure. The implementation of the structure is pending additional funding of Ush. 19 bn.

In addition, the Human Resource department carried out sensitization workshops in Mubende and Fort Portal High Courts where 137 staff participated.
Development Budget Component i) Purchase of Motor Vehicles and Other Transport Equipment;
The target was to purchase 4 double cabin vehicles for Magistrates and 2 station wagons for Court of Appeal and High Court. However, the vehicles were not purchased because bidders requested for an extension on the bid submission date to 24th October 2017. Procurement expected to be complete by end of November,2017. ii) Purchase of Specialised Machinery & Equipment;
Photocopiers were procured for Mbarara, Fort Portal, Arua, Mbale and Lira courts. iii) Purchase of Office and Residential Furniture and Fittings;
The procurement process was undertaken and the Furniture for Mukono High Court is pending delivery. The reason for variance is that priority had to be given to a new High Court Circuit. iv) Purchase of Office and ICT Equipment including Software;
The purchase of Computers was not done because of inadequate funds under development. v) Other (Civil Maintenance);
-Renovation and paving of the High Court Building was completed;
-Registries for Civil and Criminal Divisions were reorganized and files put in to Acid boxes;
-Container for Exhibits was purchased, old structure demolished and a Water borne toilet constructed at Entebbe CM Court;

V5: VOTE CHALLENGES FOR 2018/19 AND ADDITIONAL FUNDING REQUESTS
Vote Challenges for FY 2018/19
1. Inadequate Man Power; The Staff levels of the Judiciary are at 55% This has put a lot of workload and caseload to Non Judicial and Judicial Staff respectively.
2. Lack of an enabling Law; The Judiciary Administration Bill has not yet been passed in to an act in order to guarantee the independence of the Judiciary.
3. Limited use of Courtroom Technology; This leads to slow Case disposal and Case backlog.
4. Inadequate Court Structure; The Judiciary rents most of the structure leading to increased reliance on the private sector for rented premises. This having a first call on Non-Wage clouds out other Key Vote expenditures.
5. Lack of funds for the operationalisation of new magisterial areas and High Court Circuits.; There are no funds to funds to run the gazetted Magisterial area and High Court Circuits This has led to increased Caseload and lead times.
6. Delayed Roll out of new Innovation of Case disposal which majorly target the poor such as Plea Bargaining and Small Claims Procedure.

Transition to Electronic passport system as directed by their Excellency¶s of the East African Community; this was to be fast-tracked, a new deadline has been set for 31st December 2017. However the system is highly technical and needs high-technology infrastructure. Government of Uganda is still in the process of identifying a service provider to implement the transition. This delay is likely to contravene the directives and providing an unclear roadmap for the transition to e- SDVVSRUWV
At present, there is no inter-connectivity of border operations; with the National Identification GDWDEDVH&OXVWHUVDQGUHJLRQVODFNLQWHUFRQQHFWLYLW\ZLWKWKH3,6&(6HLPPLJUDWLRQDQG0,'$6 systems, frustrating borders control efforts of detection and investigation of crime. This gives chance to immigrants denied entry at one border to take advantage of using other borders.
Poor Working Environment: Services are offered under unconducive working environment not only at the HQs but at Regional and Border posts. At the borders, there is lack of or inadequate LQIUDVWUXFWXUHWRVXSSRUWWKHDXWRPDWLRQRILPPLJUDWLRQVHUYLFHV7KHFKDOOHQJHRIDFFRPPRGDWLRQ in the Cluster arrangement;-a concept built on the principle of rotation of staff between small border and a big border with the aim of fair treatment on the staff and maintaining operational small borders. Once officers are posted to the cluster, they tend to rent in the locality of the cluster office, when they are rotated to small borders, they then foot an extra bill of rent at the small border. At Headquarters, services are still provided under tents. At the regions renovations and strengthening strong rooms is required.
The Directorate faces a challenge of inadequate funding to operationalize processing of immigration facilities on a 24 hour basis considering the difference in time zones. The Directorate automated issuance of some immigration facilities, however, it lacks funds to ensure that staff are at work 24 hours on a 7 day on shift basis to ensure processing, approval and handling of client online applications and inquiries on time.
Porous borders in the region complicate achievement of tight security at the borders compounded by incompatibility of systems operated by Partner States. Uganda has gazette only 52 border points which are operational through the cluster approach, however given the length of the borderline this leaves part of the border unmanned.
The Ministry is insufficiently funded to undertake a review of the structure of the Directorate of Immigration and Citizenship Control. The performance management structure remain unclear. This hinders on the performance of some offices.
The Directorate lacks funds to attach Immigration staff to Missions abroad to undertake issuance of passports and dual citizenship and other immigration facilities. Services of e-visa has been decentralised to 15 Missions abroad, and this FY e-citizenship will also go online to facilitate Ugandans in the Diaspora and other foreigners to investors in Uganda7KH0LQLVWU\FDQQRW FRQWLQXRXVO\UHO\RQ)RUHLJQ6HUYLFH2IILFHUVWRFDUU\RXWLPPLJUDWLRQVHUYLFHVRQLWVEHKDOI

V5: VOTE CHALLENGES FOR 2018/19 AND ADDITIONAL FUNDING REQUESTS
Vote Challenges for FY 2018/19
101 Justice, Law and Order Vote Budget Framework Paper FY 2018/19
Vote:144 Uganda Police Force
The following are the challenges/shortfalls for FY 2018/19:
1. The staff housing project at Naguru that is gender neutral requires shs 5bn for each block of 60 housing units. The 17 blocks comprising 1,020 units shall require shs 85bn. The current provision of Shs 4.6bn is inadequate. There is need for a deliberate budget support by Government towards this initiative.
2. Criminal Investigation and Intelligence requires shs 105bn annually to fully investigate an estimated 50,000 capital offences considering it needs a minimum of shs.2.1m to investigate a capital offence. The current funding of shs 9bn can only investigate 4286 cases.
3. Operation & Maintenance systems: Due to increase in fleet (vehicles, motorcycles, marines and aircrafts and specialized equipment) the equipment requires maintenance for optimum utilization and safety. However, UPF lacks the different specialized maintenance facilities for this equipment and require additional funding for the establishment of: a) An airbase with craft maintenance facility (Shs105bn) b) A mariner for vessel maintenance (shs 28bn) c) ICT maintenance workshop (shs 4bn) d) 4 Regional vehicle maintenance centres (shs 11.9bn).

5. Fuel, Oil and lubricants: The fleet size has increased without a commensurate increase in fuel and funds for repairs. The budget provision for fuel in FY 2017/18 is shs35.832bn less shs 5bn compared to last FY 2016/17. With the expansion of UPF services that require motorization, there is serious need to increase funds for fuel. In addition, the shs 6.234bn provided for repairs is in adequate considering the fleet has started depreciating and requires additional budget to keep it running and functional.
6. Rent: Police services have expanded and end up renting in areas where it does not have its own accommodation for both office and barracks especially in newly created districts. Currently, the funding of Shs 4.5bn is insufficient and needs additional Shs 0.6bn
7. Utilities (Electricity & Water): The provision of Shs 27.3bn for both water and electricity is inadequate because of the increase of manpower by DQGWKLVLVQRWLQWDQGHPZLWKWKHDYDLODEOHUHVRXUFHVIRUHOHFWULFLW\DQGZDWHU$GGLWLRQDO6KVEQLVUHTXLUHG
Table V5.1: Additional Funding Requests Additional requirements for funding and outputs in 2018/19 Justification of requirement for additional outputs and funding Vote : 144 Uganda Police Force Programme : 56 Police Services OutPut : 02 Criminal Investigations Funding requirement UShs Bn : 105.000 CID is still underfunded to fully carry out its mandate of detection and investigation of crimes. For example, CID at the minimum needs shs.2.1m to investigate a capital offence. Thus to investigate an estimated 50,000 capital offences requires on average shs.105bn for quality investigations. The shortfall also covers the requirements of counter terrorism activities and crime intelligence of Shs 30bn. OutPut : 07 Other Specialised Police Services Funding requirement UShs Bn : 142.000 The Regional Forensics Referral Center of excellence-RFRC) needs to be upgraded and equipped to effectively support crucial forensics evidence-based investigations. This requires Shs 142bn OutPut : 10 Police Administrative and Support Services
102 Justice, Law and Order Vote Budget Framework Paper FY 2018/19
Vote:144 Uganda Police Force
Funding requirement UShs Bn : 82.066 Personnel are fed when deployed for operations and this requires additional resources of Shs 40bn. Additionally, the fleet size increased without a commensurate increase in fuel and repairs funds. Instead the budget for fuel was reduced by Shs 5bn in FY 217/18 and has not been reimbursed. The fleet has started depreciating hence requires budget for repairs to keep it functional. UPF services expanded and some of the services are motorized hence a need to increase funds for fuel.
OutPut : 72 Government Buildings and Administrative Infrastructure Funding requirement UShs Bn : 59.500 So far UPF is on the verge of completing the construction 420 housing apartments started in FY 2017/18(part of the 1020 housing units required to provide a conclusive and habitable living conditions for the personnel. The current funding of Shs 4.6bn is inadequate. There is need for a deliberate budget support by Government towards this initiative of Shs 59.5bn. OutPut : 77 Purchase of Specialised Machinery & Equipment Funding requirement UShs Bn : 148.900 UPF has acquired a fleet of motor cycles, motor vehicles, marine vessels, trucks, specialized equipment, machinery and aircrafts and they are in operation all the time. These equipment require maintenance for optimum utilization and safety, thus a) An airbase with craft maintenance facility (Shs105bn), b) A mariner for vessel maintenance(28bn), c) ICT maintenance workshop (4bn) and d) Four regional vehicle maintenance centres (11.9bn).

V5: VOTE CHALLENGES FOR 2018/19 AND ADDITIONAL FUNDING REQUESTS
Vote Challenges for FY 2018/19
High prisoners¶population growth.
Prisoners¶population is the major cost driver of prisons budget. It exerts pressure on housing, sanitation & utilities e.g. water, Medicare, feeding, uniforms, staff numbers & delivery of prisoners to courts and utilities like water and electricity. Whereas country population is growing at 3% per annum, prisoners¶population is increasing at 8.8% per annum

1. Staff accommodation
6,256 staff are not properly housed. They stay in improvised houses, Unipots, Fin mores, canteens & others rent at their own cost. This compromises security of the prison and the public.
To construct 2 four floor apartment blocks of staff houses with 2 bedrooms, living room, kitchen and a store each housing 60 staff requires shs.12bn for FY2018/19. Shs.2bn has been provided leaving a shortfall of shs.10bn.
2. Prisoners' feeding
Feeding of a daily average of 66,494 prisoners at shs.5,500 per prisoner per day requires shs.133.487bn. Only shs.27.864bn has been provided leaving a shortfall of shs.105.623EQ
At current level of investment, food worth shs.18bn is expected from prisons farms, leaving the overall shortfall of shs.87.623bn. The Service projects that prisoners¶feeding will accumulate arrears of shs.49.951bn in FY2018/19. This leaves a total budget shortfall of shs.137.574bn. 120 Justice, Law and Order Vote Budget Framework Paper FY 2018/19

4. Overcrowding and Associated Challenges
The current prisons carrying capacity is for a daily average of 16,656 prisoners. Current Prisoners population of 54,449 (Sept. 2017) exceeds the available capacity by 37,793 inmates (occupancy level ±326.9%), with some prisons housing up to 5 times their designed holding capacities.
At a projected daily average of 66,494 inmates, holding capacity will be exceeded by 47,862 inmates ±occupancy level ±338%.
Constructing 5 low security prisons per annum at shs.3.8bn per prison - shs19.0bn.
Shs.2.1bn has been provided for completion of Kitalya Mini Maximum prison leaving a shortfalll of shs.8bn in FY2018/19
5. Drought effects and Absence of irrigation infrastructure
Prisons farms are dependent on rain fed agriculture and are thus susceptible to drought and erratic weather. This negatively affects prisons farm production.
The Service conducted a feasibility study for establishment of irrigation schemes at Ruimi, Ibuga and Mubuku prisons: The project feasibility study report and designs was produced and submitted to Ministry of Finance Planning and Economic Planning for financing. Targeted acreage - 3,730 acres:
Total project funding is shs.100.2bn to be phased over 4 years; Year 1 requires shs.16.737bn. The project was approved but under pipeline.
6. Inadequate budget provision for Prisons Health Services
The coverage of HIV/AIDS services is limited to only 15% of the health units in UPS. Low staffing of health facilities; only 345 out of 1,673 posts are filled. To adequately provide health services in prisons requires an annual provision of shs.3.8bn against a provision of shs1.785bn leaving a short fall of shs2.015bn.
7. Land Surveying
UPS operates 252 prisons. 79 prisons are located on Kingdom land, 40 on district land & 133 on central government land. UPS cannot survey & title Kingdom land or district land.
Kingdoms want their land. UPS has 4 options; a) To rent the land and pay dues, b)To get lease on the land, c) To buy the land, or d) Opt to vacate the land
77 out of 133 central prisons land is not surveyed. 79 prisons are on kingdom land; 40 prisons on district land. Over the SIP IV, the plan is to buy land & construct prisons, merge 79 prisons into 10 prisons at various security levels.
If negotiations with districts are successful, the total number of prisons land to be surveyed will be 180. Shs1.8EQLVUHTXLUHGWRVXUYH\ WLWOH7R survey & title 50 prisons land per year requires shs.0.5bn; provided - shs0.198bn; shortfall - shs.0.302bn

Vote:148 Judicial Service Commission
Vote Challenges and additional funding requests
Inadequate resources (budget) for non-wage recurrent and development budget for efficient implementation of activities. Poor staff remuneration which makes it difficult to attract and retain high caliber staff. Inadequate transport facilities which hinders the JSC from reaching out to the population as the ³people¶s bridge to justice´ Part-time nature of Members of the Commission apart from the Chairperson which has led to slow implementation of activities especially disposal of complaints and recruitment of Judicial Staff. Funding gaps: Given the expanded structure of the JSC and the anticipated recruitment of staff by end of FY 2017/2018, and also in anticipation of making all the Members of the Commission full time, JSC needs funds for procurement of at least 20 vehicles (UGX 5bn), furniture and office equipment (UGX 1bn), recurrent budget to facilitate meetings and field activities (UGX 3bn). The Commission will also needs funds to execute its expanded mandate of recruitment of the non judicial staff of the Judiciary and the approved structure (UGX 3.5bn) The Commission also needs funds to a acquire a permanent home if the JLOS House materializes (UGX 6bn) In addition, JSC will also need funds for setting up Regional Offices in line with the JLOS SIP III of enhancing access to administration of justice (UGX 20.9484bn).

Case backlog will be reduced with timely provision of the reagents and consumables. Case Backlog is to be prioritized in the FY 2018/2019 budget with 1.390 Bn shs allocated for reagents, chemicals and consumables to enable forensic analysis of the backlog cases and the new forensic cases coming in at DGAL. These funds however are not fully allocated to case backlog therefore case backlog will be a recurring issue. The case backlog is still high and an additional 2.5 Bn shs will be needed to clear case backlog at the main DGAL laboratory and 1.4 Bn shs for the new cases totaling to 3.9Bn shs.

Vote Challenges for FY 2018/19
1.Understaffing at the laboratory relative to the approved staff structure at the institution. There is a shortage of staff at the laboratory which has led to accumulated case backlog and more workload per scientist thus reducing the motivation of the existing staff. DGAL's approved new structure as at June 2016 has 124 positions of which 49 positions are filled leaving 75 positions vacant. There has also been high staff attrition with 11 scientists leaving the laboratory from FY 2014/15 to FY 2016/17.

The funds allocated for procurement of Laboratory reagents and consumables are inadequate and this has resulted into accumulated case backlog (7722 Forensic with 2844 DNA cases and 4878 non DNA namely poisons Drugs, Fire arms and Explosives, Arson and questioned documents as of 15th September 2017). An additional 2.5 Bn shs will be needed to clear case backlog at the main DGAL laboratory.
