The Judiciary has transferred 28 judicial officers at the ranks of Registrars and Magistrates and two new Magistrates Grade I as part of continuous efforts to improve judicial efficiency and service delivery.
The changes which take effect immediately, aim to address staffing gaps and ensure equitable distribution of judicial resources across the country.
In a press statement issued on Monday, March 17, 2025, Chief Justice Alfonse Chigamoy Owiny-Dollo welcomed the decision, emphasizing its role in a dressing staffing gap and ensuring that justice is delivered efficiently.
He urged the transferred officials to uphold the highest standards of professionalism and integrity in their new stations.
“Let people see and feel the Justice we have committed to delivering under the new judiciary,” he said.
