“And you the public also have got a tendency of bribing the judges and other court officials seeking favor from them which contracts the law and denies access to justice to all the citizens,” Bamwine said.

He further warned lawyers who have developed a behavior of asking for adjournments of cases even when they are ready for hearing raising suspicion of who is greater between the magistrate and the lawyer.

The chief magistrate Rukungiri circuit Moses Lubangula Kule showed concern on the little number of work force at the circuit who also serve Kanungu and Kihiihi courts.

The Rujumbura Member of Parliament Fred Turyamuhweza asked the principal judge to consider introducing a policy that will fight corruption in the judiciary.
