During an interface with journalists at Justice Kavuma’s chambers in Kampala on Tuesday, Mr Chasi explained that they chose to visit and learn from Uganda’s JLOS on grounds that its one of the best in the continent.
“We are here in Uganda for about a week to learn more from Uganda’s JLOS and its key players on how they run it. This is because our JLOS is just two years since it was started and Uganda runs one of the best JLOS in the continent,” said Mr Chasi in a brief interface with journalists.

Mr Chasi further during the interface with journalists; explained that given that the JLOS of Zimbabwe is still young about two years old, there was need for them to borrow a leaf from JLOS of Uganda that he said has been around for some time and is effective.

Some of the key JLOS institutions include; Ministry of Justice, Judiciary, Uganda Police, Uganda Prisons, LDC, Ministry of Local government, Internal Affairs ministry, Uganda Law Society among others.
