President Yoweri Museveni has appointed High Court Judge Kabito Benjamin Isingoma as the new chairman of the Judicial service commission, replacing Justice James Ogoola.
Justice Ogoola left the judicial service commission six months ago after hitting the 70 year old age as mandated by law. He retired in February this year after serving for four years.
Justice Isingoma at the moment serves the High Court in Fortportal.
Meanwhile, the president has also appointed Lady Justice Faith Mwondha as Kabito’s deputy.
He appointed six members of the commission including, Mrs. Ruth Sebatindira, Ms. Norah Matovu Winyi, Dr. Laban Nnini Kirya, Hon. Rose Nyakikongoro, Hon. Amongin Aporu, and Ms. Justine A. Mugabi.
All these now await vetting by the Parliament’s appointment committee set to sit on Wednesday 14th September 2016.
