Katabi town council has revived the local council court to improve on justice following the election of village and parish chairpersons who constitute the court.
Last year, the court had been labeled illegal by the then Entebbe Chief Magistrate Mary Kaitesi since the LC 1 chairpersons hadn’t been elected.
According to the local council courts act 2006, every village, parish, town, division and sub-county is mandated to have a court. The courts consist of executive members of the given local council setting.
The courts are mandated to handle cases in civil nature especially those governed by the customary law, infringement on by-laws and ordinances made by the local government act, matters relating to the children’s act and those relating to land.
Mary Ssekakoni was appointed the Chairperson of the court while Kiddu Sserumaga, Ndiwalana James, Lillian Ndagire and Dominic Mukopi were appointed members of the court and the town clerk will act as the secretary.
