Attorney General: Behind Every Lawyer Stands the Private Sector.

I agree with the Hon. Attorney General. The Constitution itself anticipated the challenge of judicial backlog and proposed Article 142(2) and Article 142(3). The question before us is whether we are prepared to use every constitutional tool available to deliver timely justice to the people of Uganda.

Attorney General of the Republic of Uganda Sam Mayanja proposes a radical solution for backlog.

"Only six categories of people should handle land transactions in the registries: advocates with valid practicing certificates, architects, surveyors, valuers, and bank officers at officer level. No other person should be seen in the premises of a land office. I enforced it for a time. But the bar didn't come to support me and slowly, slowly, the brokers began coming back." Hon. Dr. Sam Mayanja, Attorney General of the Republic of Uganda speaking @JSConversations @elisonk

"You have 24 judges at the Supreme Court. Each judge has a house of a certain category. Each judge has a car costing 600 million shillings. That car must be maintained not only during the ten years of that judge's service, but even after he retires, up to his date of departure from this world. This is not sustainable." Dr. Sam Mayanja, Attorney General of the Republic of Uganda speaking @JSConversations @elisonk

"Now that you have run out of excuses why is there still a backlog? Why are they not performing? You have been given everything. The package has been improved. The numbers have been increased. The accommodation has been bettered. So now what?" Hon. Dr. Sam Mayanja, Attorney General of the Republic of Uganda speaking @JSConversations @elisonk

"Under the Registration of Titles Act, if somebody has been on mailo land for more than 12 years, has put up economic activities, has a house there, and has not been disturbed by the title holder he can apply to the registrar and get a title in fee simple. Without paying anything to the title holder. The provision is there. Why are we not using it?" Dr. Sam Mayanja, Attorney General of the Republic of Uganda speaking @JSConversations @elisonk
