JSC Commissioners Visit JTI
Judicial Service Commissioners visiting the Judicial Studies Institute
A group of commissioners and senior staff from the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) recently paid a courtesy call on the Executive Director of the Judicial Training Institute (JTI).
The JSC group which consisted of commissioners; Ms. Norah Matovu, Ms. Christine Aporu and Registrar Ronald Sekagya, were taken on a guided tour of the Institute by Justice Dr. Henry Peter Adonyo.
The commissioners pledged theirsupport for the newly reconstituted JTI saying capacity building initiativesare important but need clear monitoring and evaluation mechanisms.
Hon. Justice Dr Adonyo decried the shoe-string budget which the Institute operates on which makes it hard to conduct regular trainings.
Last month, in Office Instruction No. 2 of 2017,the Hon. Chief Justice provided for the management of the Judicial Training Institute formerly Judicial Studies Institute.
According to the instrument, the Institute will be responsible for management of the training funds and all funds appropriated to the Institute through donation and fees. The JTI will be supervised by the Governing Council headed by a Justice of the Supreme Court.
