Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | The Chief Justice Bart Katureebe has called for investigations into construction of two flush toilets at 450 million shillings.

Last week, Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee-PAC asked the judiciary to explain how two flush toilets were constructed at a tune of 450 million shillings. The toilets were constructed at Katureebe’s home and another at Entebbe Chief Magistrate’s Court.

Speaking on Wednesday during the handover ceremony of Kagole Kivumbi, the former judiciary permanent Secretary to the new PS Pius Bigirimana, Katureebe said that the incoming permanent secretary should push for investigations into the matter.

According to Pius Bigirimana, he will make several proposals to the Chief Justice to strengthen the management of the Judiciary.

Bigirimana previously served as PS at the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) before moving to the Ministry of Gender. President Museveni has said Bigirimana was the whistle blower that exposed corruption at OPM.
