Like in previous years, many of the Fellows graduating today have been involved in program leadership and management at various levels within the institutions, including institutionalizing the use of Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS) in Uganda, development of behaviour change communication strategies, assessing the quality of HIV counselling and testing services provided in the private sector, improving uptake of HIV and family planning services, among other initiatives. Between 2008 and 2010, the Program focus was on building leadership and management capacity for HIV/AIDS programs. However, beginning in 2011, the Fellowship program expanded in scope and coverage to include other areas of health including maternal and child health, malaria, among others. Our goal is to produce transformative leader-managers who are hen the idea of initiating the Fellowship competent in diverse health fields, and who have got Program was mooted way back in 2002, little the ability to think strategically to resolve challenges Wdid we know that it would grow into a great that continue to hamper effective service delivery in player in the field of capacity enhancement for the health Uganda and elsewhere. sector.

The Fellowship Program is built on three strong pillars: the host institution, academic and host mentors, and hands-on training. The mentor acts as a pivot that provides support to the other two pillars. Thus, the growth of the Fellow hinges strongly on the ability of the program to offer mentored support during the two-year period of training. I would therefore like to thank all mentors who have worked tirelessly and dedicatedly to mentor Fellows. Fellows enrolled for the 2010/12 intake were hosted in nine institutions namely: UNAIDS, Health Communication Partnership/Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Center for Communication Programs, STAR-E LQAS/Management Sciences for Health; STD/AIDS Control Program, Ministry of Health; Baylor Uganda, Mildmay Uganda, SPEAR Project/ World Vision Uganda, Uganda Red Cross Society We are highly indebted to CDC for the technical and and ChildFund International Uganda.

The Council consists of the policy organ with five Council Members headed by the Chairperson appointed by the Minister and the full time Secretariat headed by the Secretary. The Council has extended services to various areas of the Country ranging from registering facilities that use radiation sources, authorization of operators, monitoring occupational workers, carrying out inspections in facilities among others.

MR. JUSTICE LAMECK N. MUKASA REPRESENTATION: Mr. Robert Karigyendea of counsel for the Appellant Ms. Carolyn Nabaasa PSA for State Ms. Jackie Busingye – Court clerk JUDGMENT: The Appellant, Kawooya Ronny, was charged and convicted of assault occasioning actual bodily harm contrary to section 236 of the Penal Code Act. He was sentenced to 4 years imprisonment. He has now appealed against the decision on the following grounds: 1. The learned Trial Magistrate erred in law and fact when she failed to inquire and ascertain the mental condition of the accused before the trial started yet it had been brought to her attention that the accused was of unsound mind. 2. The learned Trial Magistrate erred in law and in fact when she allowed the trial to proceed in the absence of the accused person thereby denying the accused a chance to cross examine one of the witnesses. 3. The learned Trial Magistrate erred in law and fact when she failed to properly evaluate the evidence on record thereby arriving at a wrong conclusion that the appellant was guilty.

An accused person has a right to a fair trial, he must be able to understand and follow the proceedings. See Article 28 of the Constitution.
