Police have cordoned off the Supreme Court building in the Kampala upscale suburb of Kololo to investigate the fire that gutted the Chief Justice’s chambers on Wednesday morning.
The fire broke out in the Chief Justice’s chambers on the third floor destroying several documents.
Officers from the Fire and Rescue Services department backed by fire trucks managed to contain the fire and stop it from spreading to other parts of the highest court in the country.
Shortly after containing the fire, a team of regular police officers cordoned off the Supreme Court building around midday with yellow tapes as a Crime Scene.
Jamson Karemani, the Judiciary Spokesperson told Radio Sapientia that the few people he has talked to believe the fire started from the Air Conditioning System-AC as he called for calm from the public, saying no Court file was affected by the fire since all files are kept in the Registry.
