Ssemakadde recently wrote to the Chief Registrar asking for a record of proceedings of this year’s Judges’ Conference to enable him decide the next course of action.
This stemmed from a resolution by the judges that they will not entertain cyber bullying by some lawyers and these singled out Male Mabirizi and Ssemakadde whom they accused of making statements on social media deemed to be a form of cyber bullying against judicial officers.
The development comes on the backdrop of the arrest of lawyer Hassan Male Mabirizi by police on Monday to serve an 18 months jail sentence over contempt of court.
Mabirizi who has been in hiding for over a week since court passed the sentence was smoked out from the gate as he tried to access Kyambogo University.
