The Chief Justice Alfonse Owinyi-Dollo has asked the Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja to use her energy for better things other than interfering in the work of the judiciary. Speaking on Monday afternoon at Mestil Hotel in Kampala, while opening the annual Registrars and Magistrates’ Conference, Owinyi-Dollo went bare knuckles in responding to the actions of Nabbanja who last week stormed the Mengo Magistrates Court, and grilled Grade One Magistrate Amon Mugezi, who had ordered for the imprisonment of a widow of seven children due to a land dispute that had been decided ex parte.
