Bushenyi District local government officials have allocated two acres of land to the judiciary for the construction of the High Court. The land is located in Nyakabirizi Division.
Last year, the District Council passed a resolution offering the Judiciary the land after the district was allocated a High Circuit to serve the Districts of Rubirizi, Sheema, Buhweju, Mitooma, and Bushenyi.
While handing over the land title to the Judiciary, Jafari Basajjabala, the Bushenyi LCV Chairperson, stated that since the launch of the High Court circuit in March, there has been a reduction in the case backlog.
He mentioned that it will be the judiciary’s responsibility to transfer the land title.
Amos Kwizera, the Resident Judge of the Bushenyi High Court, said the construction of the High Court building will commence in the next financial year once funds are secured.
Bushenyi Chief Magistrate Simon Toloko commended the district authorities for ensuring that justice is served and accessible to the people by donating the land.
He added that the donation aims to facilitate easier access to judicial services for the people of greater Bushenyi.
