The Judiciary is readying a proposal for a four-fold increase in its funding, which they say is the only way to improve the dispensing of justice to Ugandans.
In the new proposal, the Judiciary’s draft budget for the coming financial year is Shs800 billion, up from about Shs200b it received for this financial year.
