More than 20 staff of the Judiciary have undergone a two-day training on Protocol and Events management at the Mestil Hotel in Kampala.
The training which is a first of its kind was organized by the Judicial Training Institute (JTI) with facilitators from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

While delivering opening remarks on behalf of the Permanent Secretary, Mr Pius Bigirimana, the Under Secretary, Ms Maureen Kasande, stressed the need for etiquette and protocol disciplines.
"Issues of international protocol, formal and informal address and order of national precedence need to be emphasized. Managing risks during events is very key and with this training...the outlook of Judiciary events is going a notch higher."
The Permanent Secretary also urged the organizers to ensure that sessions on Protocol and etiquette are incorporated in all other types of trainings.
"I have reviewed the line-up topics for the two days' training and I must say that it looks rich and we shall definitely leave here much better people," the Permanent Secretary said.
The topics that were covered included; Protocol and Etiquette, Introduction to International Protocol, Applications of Protocol and Reputation Management, Public Diplomacy and Media, Introduction to cultural diplomacy, and the characteristics of a good Protocol Officer, among others.
