The judiciary is far from achieving its desired budget to operate optimally.

The Judiciary Spokesperson, Solomon Muyita, says they need at least UGX 300 billion far from the UGX 128 billion Government has allocated the sector in the 2018/2019 financial year.

According to Muyita, UGX 30 billion is for wages, UGX 5 billion for clearing domestic arrears, UGX 4 billion pensions, and another UGX 4 billion for purchasing vehicles, maintenance and some construction.

But with the limited budget line judiciary is unable to increase the number of judicial officers.

According to Muyita, because of the limited funding the judiciary has only 30 operational information desks countrywide, which denies citizens access to information on their cases and court procedures.
