Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs Vote: 007 Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs Executive Summary

Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs Vote: 007 Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs V1: Vote Overview (i) Vote Mission Statement To provide legal advice and legal services as well as supporting the machinery that provides the legal framework for good governance. (ii) Strategic Objective (iii) Major Achievements in 2016/17 Drafting Legislation: In the reporting period, the Ministry had drafted 6 Bills against a target of 15 bills; and published 7 Acts against a target of 10 Acts. Other pieces of legislation drafted included 46 Statutory Instruments, 10 Legal Notices and 3 ordinances. The following Bills were published:- 1. Bio Fuels Bill, 2016 2. International Conference for Great Lakes Implementation of the Pact on Security, Stability and Development of the Great Lakes Region Regulations 2016, 3. Local Governments (Amendment) Bill, 2016 4. Sugar Bill, 2016 The following Acts were published;- 1. The Uganda Wildlife Research Training Institute Act, 2016 2. Tier Four Micro Finance Institutions and Money Lenders Act 2016 3. Uganda Cancer Institute Act, 2016 4. Income Tax (Amendment) Act 2016 Legal Advisory Services: In the reporting period, 2,416 requests for contracts and Memorandum of Association reviews were received out of which 2,278 were responded to and 138 are still pending. The performance level was at 94%. The 138 were still pending due to incomplete requests submitted by the entities and delays in submitting prerequisite additional information. Similarly, 233 requests for legal opinion were received, out of which 194 were responded to and 39 are pending. No Cabinet Memoranda was prepared the Ministry in the Period under review. Additionally, 162 invitations of the regional and international meetings were received, 108 were attended; a performance of 67%. Thirty three percent were missed due to lack of facilitation to attend the meetings, delay by the entities to deliver the invitations and insufficient information in the invitations. Defending Civil Suits in Courts of Law and Tribunals: In the reporting period, the Attorney General represented Government in various courts and tribunals across the country. Twenty two (22) cases were concluded out of which 14 cases were won saving Government UGX. 28.335Bn. Eight cases were lost due to lack of witnesses and instructions from MDAs. many other cases are still on going Automation of the Civil Registry Automation of the civil registry to improve court attendance, case management, informed planning and decision

Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs Vote: 007 Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs making was completed. Currently, training of the users as well as data capture of all case files in the civil registry is still ongoing. Administrator General s Services The Office of the Administrator General has undergone tremendous changes especially in infrastructure development and service delivery. The Department has improved service delivery by ensuring completion of files within the shortest time possible. New death reports The Department targeted to open 2,000 new files during the 1st half of the FY but opened 2243 beyond the target. This was mainly because of awareness creation campaigns which have resulted into more clients coming to open files with knowledge of the basic or essential requirements. There is a very positive vibe from the public about the Administrator General's work and well-served clients are our biggest credit and our best source of sensitization. They refer their relatives, their neighbours, their friends to our office for service. Although this activity depends on the client s. Applications for winding up of estates and Renunciation of Letters of Administration The Department targeted to file 25 applications before courts of law for winding up. The Department was able to wind up 50 estates far beyond the planned target. Family Mediation and Arbitration To ensure faster disposal of estate cases, the Department planned to resolve 500 succession related wrangles through family mediation and arbitration. 502 family mediation and arbitration were successfully handled. Estate Inspections The Administrator General inspected 51 estates out of the planned 50 estates. The estates earmarked for inspection included those under the administration of the office and those where intending administrators petitioned the office for a Certificate of No Objection. Letters of Administration The Administrator General targeted to take over and manage 8 estates during the first half of the financial year. However, despite the fact that most beneficiaries desire to manage their estates, there are some estates that we found at a high risk of getting wasted resulting in the Department taking out Letters of Administration in respect of 9 estates. Issuance of certificate of no objection The Administrator General issued 1343 certificates of No Objection out of the planned 1200. Such performance usually depends on the demand from our clients.

Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs Vote: 007 Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs Land Transfers The Administrator General purposed issued 106 Land transfers out of the planned 40 Land transfers. This was due to the sensitization and awareness of people about their inheritance rights creating more demand for their share of the deceased s properties. Court Attendance and Representation In the reporting period, there was a slight increase in suits filed against Administrator General and many Civil Suits against Administrator General were settled amicably in favour of Administrator General and the Administrator General will continue with this strategy. LAW COUNCIL Disciplining Advocates and their Clerks. The Disciplinary Committee initiates disciplinary proceedings against advocates upon receipt of complaints from clients and members of the public. In the reporting period, the Disciplinary Committee concluded 84 complaints against a target of 100; in 27 sittings. Several matters are pending final judgment since the Disciplinary Committee meets once a week, with a few special sittings fixed mid-week for complaints involving many complainants. This has continuously led to the increase of the backlog problem. There is need to amending the Advocates Act and Regulations to increase on membership of the Committee so as to minimize the problem of quorum as well as having more sittings. Inspection of Chambers The Council conducts inspection of all law firms country wide to ensure that chambers of advocates countrywide are decent and well stocked with law books before Certificates of Approval can be issued. In the reporting period, 128 offices were inspected. Factors that affected performance under this activity include Change of location of some law firms made it difficult for Law Council members to inspect. Some law firms are found closed during inspection especially upcountry making them miss out hence limited opportunity for re-inspection. Some law firms do not possess the necessary requirements to be approved. Facilitation is inadequate and given once yet the exercise is continuous throughout the year. Limited staffing especially when it comes to the transport department, one driver is not adequate. (iv) Medium Term Plans

Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs Vote: 007 Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs The performance of the Ministry has been greatly hindered by the following constraints:- High Staff Turnover due to poor remuneration: The Ministry is committed to recruiting training and retaining skilled, dedicated and well motivated staff. However, it is faced with the challenge of retaining State Attorneys due to the low remuneration compared to the private sector. As a result, the turnover of the staff has remained high leading to loss of skilled staff. In the last three financial years, 23 legal and 5 non legal staff have left the Ministry. Filling of the new Ministry staff structure: The delayed restructuring of the core directorates and the departments of Administrator General, Law Council and Finance and Administration and the Regional Offices has continued to hamper the smooth delivery of services to the general public. This had manifested in form of inadequate manpower which undermines performance in Courts attendance, legal advisory services, legislation, estates management and regulation of the legal profession. However on a good note the approval to restructure has now been secured. Filling the vacant posts requires an additional UGX.1.5bn on the wage provision in FY 2017/18. The filling and operationalisation of the new staff structure will help boost court attendance and delivery of the legal services which are the mandate of the Ministry. Escalating Court Awards: Despite effectively defending Government in Court, the Office of the Attorney General has seen the liability grow from UGX. 249bn in FY 2012/13 to over UGX.865bn at the end of FY 2015/16. The contingent liability of Government against uncompleted civil matters (ongoing cases) is estimated at UGX.4.2 Trillion. We strongly believe that operationalisation of the new staff structure will go a long way to stop this from turning into actual liability. The major causes of the growing liability include lack of institutional and individual accountability, failure of State witnesses to attend Court and poor logistical facilitation of the Attorney General s Chambers. It is pertinent that Government must contain the ever escalating liability on Court awards. To do this there is need to introduce punitive and administrative sanctions on errant officials; MDAs should be accountable; decentralise payment of Court Awards; and strengthen Attorney General s Chambers. Inadequate funding for operations: The total budget provision of UGX.85.5bn is inadequate for effective service delivery. Of this UGX.32Bn is for the JLOS SWAp development fund, UGX.33bn for Court Awards, UGX.3.5Bn for wages, UGX. 3.4bn for rent leaving only UGX.12.5bn for operations. We need an additional UGX.8.5bn to boost our operational budget to effectively carry out the ministry mandate. The ministry s vehicle fleet is also depleted which affects the ability of the State Attorneys to attend Court across the country. The Ministry requires UGX.2.5bn to replenish the fleet. The Ministry currently has 23 Vehicles to transport 35 officers to the magistrates court, High court, Court of Appeal and the supreme court. This is inadequate. In addition the available vehicles are in very poor mechanical condition, for they have outlived their usefulness. Another example is say Mbarara regional office which 12 officers that cover 32 districts and they only have 3 vehicles, 2 old and another new that traverse between Kisoro and Kyenjojo districts.

Judiciary Vote: 101 Judiciary While there is without a doubt the immense potential for the Judiciary to contribute to the achievement of the strategic goals and objectives of the NDP II, a number of challenges hinder the Judiciary s contribution in playing its role in the attainment of NDP II. These include the following; 1. Absence of a specific law to operationalise the mandate of the Judiciary. 2. Limited manpower at all levels of courts. The Supreme Court has 2 vacancies; the Court of Appeal has 3 vacancies, the High Court has 41 vacancies, Registrars have 4 vacancies and the Magistrates Courts have 18 vacancies. This number is limited in light of the number of cases that the courts are supposed to handle. With improved performance of the country and formalization of the economy, the public are filing more cases and much faster than the courts can handle. The rate of filing cases has also continued to outstrip the rate of disposing cases against an approved management structure the faces a deficit of 22 bn for wage. 3. The Judiciary s structure and service points are limited in scope and cannot therefore take on the increased caseload. There is need to operationalise the recently created High Court Circuits meant to increase the number from the previous 13 to 20; Court of appeal needs to be decentralized to four other regions; there is need to facilitate the increase in Chief Magistrates areas from 39 to 82 while Magistrates Grade one should be posted per sub county level in order to cover the gaps left by the lay magistrates G.11 who are being phased out under the professionalization of the bench policy. This will help in meeting the set targets and reducing the workload which is vital for realization of the goals of the NDP II. 4. The courts have limited funds to conduct sessions. The Judiciary s resources for sessions in the High Court can only fund 1,300 cases annually against the constantly growing number of cases that are committed for trial in the High Court. The Court of Appeal has limited resources to carry out up country sessions, which have proved to be effective in tackling case backlog. The Chief Magistrate Courts depend on the good will of counsel on State Brief to represent the accused persons charged with cases that attract life imprisonment which threatens to infringe on the much revered Art. 28 of the constitution on the Right to a fair hearing. Besides, funds for other court operations are severely constrained and thus limit the capacity of the Judiciary to carry out its mandate. 5. The absence of a well-facilitated infrastructure for Alternative Dispute Resolution means that more than 95% of the cases are left to be resolved through the adversarial system, which is characteristically slow, protracted and costly. 6. The law requires to be amended to reduce the processes and timelines for cases as well as re- engineering the courts business processes. 7. Corruption and other unethical practices contribute to inordinate delays in the processing of cases. 8. Most of the Judiciary s operations are manual with the exception of appellate courts and the High Court, which have secondgeneration court recording equipment. The limited use of courtroom technology has therefore hampered the timely resolution of cases and jeopardized security of court records and case management. 9. The courts lack adequate transport to conduct locus in quo in land cases especially for Magistrates where vehicle coverage is only 11% and for Registrars who are required to supervise the administration of justice across the country. Plans to improve Vote Performance Prioritize computerization for improved case management. Roll out of case disposal initiatives such as plea bargaining, Small Claims Procedure and Performance enhancement and Alternative Dispute Resolutions (ADR). Prioritize provision of transport equipment for Judicial Officers to enhance land justice delivery. Facilitate Case Backlog Reduction sessions across all Court levels.
