On May 25th, 2022, the Judicial Service Commission issued a press statement indicating that President, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni had appointed 16 High Court judges to serve in an Acting Capacity for two years in a bid to strengthen the staffing gaps in the Judiciary as well as to reduce the case backlog in the justice system.
Kabumba and Karamagi contend that the appointments in acting capacity violate several constitutional provisions which refer to Supremacy and the Independence of the Judiciary.
