  • Civil Judge in Uganda: Remuneration Systems and Promotion Possibilities
    Civil Judge in Uganda: Remuneration Systems and Promotion Possibilities. How to Reward Efficient and Independent Decisions Asiimwe Jackline-Bainipai* Abstract This piece of work is discusses the systems of remuneration of judges and promotion possi- bilities as well as rewarding efficient and independent decisions in Uganda. The research finds that whereas these three form part and parcel of the core of an independent judiciary, and whereas there are adequate legal provisions, the enforceability is lacking due to the fact that there are high levels of interference by the executive in the function of the judiciary. The remuneration, reward of an efficient judge are largely dependent on paying allegiance to the executive and deciding cases in appeasement of the executive. Yet, the remuneration, promotion and reward are supposed to be on merit. They should also be established by law and not subject to arbitrary interference from the executive. This study has revealed how the executive has substantial impact on remuneration, promotion and reward of efficient judges. Judges that decide cases according to the law irrespective of the interests of the exe- cutive are sidelined in the promotions, remunerations and reward. The study makes relevant conclusions and recommendations. “The remuneration of the judges is not sufficient to induce the ablest lawyers in the prime of life to accept judicial office. If that state of affairs is allowed to continue it must have serious effect upon the administration of the law. It will impair those intel- lectual standards which have made our English legal system a great legal system; it will tend to impair that law abiding instinct which is the condition precedent for the maintenance of a high standard of civilization, and it will weaken the chief remaining guarantee for the prosecution of the liberties of that subject.”1 With reflection on the above statement on remuneration, this piece of work discusses remu- neration systems and promotion possibilities and how to reward efficient and independent judges from the Ugandan perspective.

    UNEP/UNDP/Dutch Joint Project on UEEZ) QV Environmental Law United Nations UNEP Development Programme United Nations and Institutions in Africa Environment Programme Review of Institutional Capacity-Building for Environmental Law and Institutions in Africa 0 0 0 - ----- June 2000 807-1 970-X 1 -------' AM undi UNEP UNEPIUNDPIDUTCH JOINT PROJECT ON ENVIRONMENTAL LAW AND INSTITUTIONS IN AFRICA REVIEW OF INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY-BUILDING FOR ENVIRONMENTAL LAW AND INSTITUTIONS IN AFRICA JUNE 2000 ISBN 92-807-1970-X -~p PREFACE The pilot project on the enhancement of capacity of selected African countries in environmental law and institutions was prompted by the Dutch Government's financial grant of US$ 5 million as a response to the glaring need for such an initiative in Africa. It was clear that African countries needed support if they were to meet the requirements and aspirations enunciated in Agenda 21 as well as in Rio Declaration. Such support should be directed towards initiatives which develop demonstrative practices in making of environmental law with public participation, ownership of such laws by nationals and efficacious machineries for enforcement of such laws. The funds were provided to UNEP because of its established global mandate in capacity building in environmental law. But given that UNEP does not maintain country offices which would coordinate national level work in an intensive project, the Dutch Government proposed too that UNDP should be a partner in the project to derive benefits from the agency's experience in technical assistance and capacity building. This was to be the basis of the title of the project as UNEPIIJNDPIDutch Joint Project on Environmental Law and Institutions in Africa.

  • Mbabali Jude VS Edward Kiwanuka Sekandi Ruling
    THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA IN THE CONSTITUTIONAL COURT OF UGANDA AT KAMPALA CONSTITUTIONAL PETITION NO. 0028 OF 2012 MBABALI JUDE………………………..………………PETITIONER VERSUS EDWARD KIWANUKA SEKANDI…………………..RESPONDENT Coram: Hon. Mr. Justice Remmy Kasule, JA/JCC Hon. Mr. Justice Eldad Mwangusya, JA/JCC Hon. Mr. Justice Rubby Aweri-Opio, JA/JCC Hon. Lady Justice Solomy Balungi Bossa, JA/JCC Hon. Mr. Justice Kenneth Kakuru, JA/JCC JUDGMENT OF HON. JUSTICE REMMY KASULE, JA/CC I have had the benefit of going through the lead Judgment prepared by my brother Hon. Justice Kenneth Kakuru, JA. I too agree with him that the petition does not raise any matter for constitutional interpretation, and, as such, the same ought to be dismissed. The jurisdiction of the Constitutional Court is derived from Article 137 of the Constitution. It provides: (1) Any question as to the interpretation of this constitution shall be determined by the Court of Appeal sitting as the constitutional court. (2) When sitting as a constitutional court, the Court of Appeal shall consist of five members of that court. (3) A person who alleges that- 1 (a) An Act of Parliament or any other law or anything in or done under the authority of any law; or (b) Any act or omission by any person or authority is inconsistent with or in contravention of a provision of this Constitution, may petition the constitutional court for a declaration to that effect, and for redress where appropriate. (4) Where upon determination of the petition under clause (3) of this article the constitutional court considers that there is need for redress in addition to the declaration sought, the constitutional court may- (a) grant an order of redress; or (b) refer the matter to the High court to investigate and determine the appropriate redress.
