During the meeting on Wednesday at the Judiciary headquarters in Kampala, the Chairperson of the Committee, Court of Appeal’s Justice, Geoffrey Kiryabwire, commended the members’ hard-work, which earned them a new tenure. “…Top Management also extended the tenure of this Committee on terms and conditions of service to the 23rd of January 2023 to oversee the operationalization of the Administration of Judiciary Act,” he said.
