"Much as such incidents happen, it's my role to educate these people. That's why every morning before court starts I address them on how they should be helped by our people and how court works. As a remedy to solve such challenges, all judicial staff were given tags and no one is allowed to enter office without it, to enable our people to easily identify rightful people".
Ms Byakutaaga emphasized locals to continuously seek for advise from respective offices at the court .
" You find someone with a big challenge that can be resolved by court but he or she shares with someone who is not even a judicial officer. Let them come to our offices and consult because our team is always available and ready to serve," she added.
