A shocking revelation has rocked the judiciary after Buganda Road Grade one Magistrate Gladys Kamasanyu claimed that junior officials who cannot travel with partners when transferred are sexually harassed by their bosses.
The revelation was at a performance management workshop for judicial officers of Kampala and Luwero High Court Circuits held in Mukono on Thursday.
The workshop was attended by over 40 judicial officers from Luwero and Kampala. Several challenges were raised including depression and other health complications, but sexual harassment shocked many.
According to Her Worship Kamasanyu, female judicial officers breakup with their families because their husbands are far away and that is the reason many remain unmarried.
She also raised the issue of insecurity at workplace as well as political interference when making judgment which complicates their work.
The officers received assurance from Hon. Christine Aporu a commissioner from Judicial service commission that their problems would be solved now that they have been brought to light.
