Kampala, Uganda — President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has appointed Mr. Lino Anguzu as the new Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
Mr. Anguzu, who previously served as an Assistant DPP, will replace Justice Jane Frances Abodo, who was recently appointed Principal Judge.
According to sources, President Museveni has forwarded Mr. Anguzu’s name to the Parliamentary Appointments Committee for vetting and approval, the next step before his formal assumption of office.
Mr. Anguzu’s appointment marks a new chapter in Uganda’s prosecutorial leadership, as the ODPP continues to strengthen its mandate to deliver justice, uphold the rule of law, and ensure accountability in the criminal justice system.
The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions is mandated to direct criminal investigations, institute criminal proceedings, and ensure justice is delivered in accordance with the law.
