title = {Impeaching Judges: Challenge or Achievement? The Ugandan Perspective},
year = {2025},
note = {The impeachment of judges in Uganda reflects both a safeguard for
judicial integrity and potential threat to judicial independence.
While intended to ensure accountability within the judiciary, the
process is often marred by concerns over political influence and
procedural fairness. The legal framework provides for impeachment
under strict conditions, yet the practical implementation often
reveals lack of transparency, limited public trust, and executive
overreach. The existing case law though scanty illustrates the tension
between enforcing ethical standards and safeguarding impartial
adjudication. Ultimately, judicial impeachment in Uganda remains both
a necessary tool for accountability and a test of democratic
governance.},
