The State House Anti-Corruption Unit (SH-ACU) has participated in the National Open Court Day organized by the Judiciary of Uganda at Kololo, as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen collaboration within the justice sector.
Held under the theme “Enhancing Judicial Accountability and Access to Justice,” the event brought together key stakeholders from across the justice system to engage directly with the public, promote transparency, and build trust in judicial processes.
The Open Court Day provided a platform for institutions to demystify court procedures, respond to public inquiries, and offer interactive sessions that encouraged feedback and dialogue between citizens and justice sector actors.
SH-ACU’s participation underscores its commitment to fostering strong partnerships in the fight against corruption. The Unit works closely with other anti-corruption and accountability agencies, including the Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID), the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), the Office of the Auditor General (OAG), and the Uganda Police Force, among others.
Through such coordinated efforts, SH-ACU and its partners aim to enhance the timely response to corruption complaints and improve service delivery within the justice system.
Officials noted that initiatives like the National Open Court Day play a critical role in bridging the gap between the public and justice institutions, ultimately strengthening accountability and ensuring greater access to justice for all citizens.
