Welcome to the website of the Uganda Law Reform Commission.In April 2011, His Excellency the President appointed a new Commission comprising of myself and six Commissioners who serve on a part-time basis. The mandate of the Commission is to study and keep under review the laws of Uganda with a view to making recommendations for their systematic improvement, development, modernization and reform. |
|
| The commissioners have brought new ideas, immense experience, and great dedication to their roles and the Commission has picked up momentum quite fast.The Commission is served by a Secretariat of about 70 staff headed by the Secretary and, directly under him, the heads of our three departments: law reform, law revision, and finance and administration. We pride ourselves on the work ethic of our staff who perform their duties with a high level of professionalism and dedication and achieve highly positive results. We are grateful to our many friends and stakeholders without whom our work would not be possible: the Justice Law and Order Sector (JLOS), and more broadly the Government of Uganda and other government agencies; non-state actors; external organizations, | |
|
for instance sister Law Reform Agencies and the organs of the East African Community; and members of the public who participate in our numerous surveys and to whom we are ultimately accountable.Looking forward, we wish to make a significant contribution as Uganda consolidates its democracy, human rights and the rule of law as well as tapping the full economic potential of our beautiful country.The Commissioners and I invite you to get familiar with our organization and make a contribution to the development of the laws of our country.
