The Chief Registrar, Ms Sarah Langa Siu has tasked the Inspectorate of Courts to investigate the unfortunate incident in which Mr. Brian Teko Lokeris, the Chief Magistrate Kapchorwa is alleged to have been arrested and detained following a bar brawl.
“As an independent, competent and accountable Arm of Government that is mandated to administer justice to all, we are closely following up the matter with Moroto Police so that thorough investigations are carried out into the alleged September 11 incident at Mount Moroto Hotel,” the Chief Registrar said.
The Judiciary does not condone misconduct by its staff and as such, the alleged incident is being inquired into by the Inspectorate of Courts.
“The Inspectorate of Courts is an Internal organ mandated to investigate and examine complaints against Judiciary staff, in order to enforce the Judicial Code of Conduct and the Code of Conduct and Ethics for Uganda Public Service,” the Chief Registrar added.
The Inspectorate has been directed to expedite the investigations that will inform appropriate action on the matter.
