KAMPALA – President Yoweri Museveni has appointed a total of four judges, three of whom are to serve on the Supreme Court and one as Principal Judge.

Justice Dr. Zeija has been the resident Judge at Mbarara High Court Circuit since 2017.

The development is contained in a letter to the Speaker of Parliament Rebbeca Kadaga.

Judiciary Senior Communications Officer Solomon Muyita has confirmed the appointment of the four judges.

Later, he obtained a Master of Laws degree in International and Comparative Law from the University of Iowa, in the United States.

He lectured in International Relations and African History at the University of Northwestern-St. Paul, in Roseville, Minnesota, a suburb of St. Paul in the United States in 1993.
In 1994, he returned to Uganda and was hired as a State Attorney, in the Attorney Generals Chambers. He served as a Legal Assistant to the Attorney General of Uganda from 1995 until 1996.

He was then appointed as the Private Secretary for Legal Affairs, in the Office of the President of Uganda, serving there for seven years from 1996 until 2003.

In 2003, he returned to the Chambers of the Attorney General of Uganda for another two years. He then served as an Assistant Commissioner, in Commissioner General’s Office at the Uganda Revenue Authority, until 2010.
