The Judicial Service Commission today unveiled its 2026-2030 Strategic Plan, setting out a five-year roadmap to improve recruitment, deepen civic education and strengthen complaints handling. Chairperson Hon. Justice Dr. Singiza Douglas Karekona said the plan is anchored on accountability, stakeholder engagement, and expanded access to justice.

The document prioritises digital transformation of the recruitment pipeline, a revamped public education programme targeting secondary schools, and clearer service standards for complaints received through the toll-free line.

Deputy Chairperson Hon. Lady Justice Rosette Comfort Kania chaired a two-day regional dialogue on women’s access to justice, held in Mbale. Representatives from civil society, the Uganda Law Society and district leaders took part.

The dialogue produced a joint communique committing to expanded legal aid clinics, survivor-centred court procedures, and faster handling of gender-based violence files.
