Chief Justice Alfonse Owiny-Dollo has responded to comments made by Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine, during the burial of MP Mohammad Ssegirinya on January 12, 2025. Bobi Wine, who leads the National Unity Platform, criticized the Judiciary for allegedly denying bail to suspects and accused judges of taking orders from the President instead of dispensing justice impartially. He further suggested that judges prioritized personal benefits over their duty to deliver justice.

In his response, Chief Justice Owiny-Dollo reminded Bobi Wine of a time when the same Judiciary he now criticizes came to his aid. He noted that during the 2021 elections, these so-called “worthless” judges granted Bobi Wine bail, enabling him to campaign freely. Owiny-Dollo highlighted that without this intervention, Bobi Wine could have been jailed, effectively sidelining him from participating in politics. This, according to the Chief Justice, underscored the irony of Bobi Wine’s current accusations, given his past reliance on the judicial system.

Additionally, Chief Justice Owiny-Dollo condemned the Radical New Bar for its unfounded attacks on the Judiciary. He called for unity within the judicial system and stressed the importance of delivering justice without being drawn into public disputes. His remarks came during the Judicial Annual Retreat, an event designed to enhance professional skills among judges and justices. The retreat served as a platform for participants to exchange ideas and collaborate on improving Uganda’s justice system.

Through his statements, Chief Justice Owiny-Dollo defended the Judiciary against its critics and advocated for constructive discussions about justice in Uganda. He emphasized that fostering unity and collaboration is essential to maintaining public trust in legal institutions…
