Independent Kampala MP aspirant Abraham Luzzi has unveiled a set of justice reforms aimed at decongesting Uganda’s prisons and improving access to justice through efficiency and accountability.
Under his proposed Fine-Based Justice approach, Luzzi advocates replacing imprisonment with fines for minor, non-violent offenses.
He argues that such a system would reduce prison overcrowding by up to 40 percent, lower incarceration costs, and generate additional government revenue through fines and penalties.
"The reforms also emphasise Judicial Efficiency, including the introduction of streamlined court procedures to speed up case resolution and reduce backlogs," he says.
Luzzi proposes the digitisation of court processes and enhanced judicial accountability to ensure that cases move more swiftly through the system.
He further calls for more affordable legal processes, ensuring that every citizen can access justice regardless of income level.
According to Luzzi, these changes are part of a broader reform agenda aimed at fostering accountability, fiscal responsibility, and equitable development.
He believes that his plan envisions a justice system that serves all Ugandans fairly while promoting efficiency and economic prudence.
