In a statement yesterday, the Judiciary said the new changes will see the current head of Criminal Division of the High Court, Justice Wilson Kwesiga, concentrate on winding up his pending judicial work within the division as he prepares for his retirement this year.
“The judges transferred are required to complete matters that are in advanced stages before the handover and relocation to the new stations. They should not take on new files,” Justice Zeija said in the statement.
