President Yoweri Museveni has supported the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), an innovation that the Judiciary wants to roll out to quickly dispose of cases within the community.

Museveni during yesterday’s commissioning of the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal buildings at City Square in Kampala said that the initiative will reduce a lot of anger in the population.

The system involves the use of mediation, arbitration, and discussions conducted by personalities that all parties respect and trust to solve such disputes.

But for the system to be operationalized, Chief Justice Alfonse Owiny-Dollo called for an increase in the Judiciary’s budget to the tune of sh800 billion.

In response, Museveni assured the Chief Justices that the financing issue will be resolved in a special meeting being organized by his Private Secretary.

President Museveni also handed over an electric bus, manufactured by scientists under the Ministry of Science Technology and Innovation to the Chief Justice to ease their movement while carrying out their work.

The building will house offices of the Judiciary that have been in rental buildings in and around Kampala.
