President Yoweri Museveni has supported the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), an innovation that the Judiciary wants to roll out to quickly dispose of cases within the community.

Museveni during Thursday’s commissioning of the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal buildings at City Square in Kampala, said that the initiative will reduce a lot of anger in the population.

The system involves the use of mediation, arbitration, and negotiations conducted by personalities that all parties respect and trust to solve such disputes.

“I want to thank the Judiciary again for what they have correctly called the original justice system. I am glad that you are providing a window where even murder can be forgiven, instead of pursuing the line of an eye for an eye; I praise you for this effort, once we institutionalise, a lot of anger in the population will be avoided,” Museveni said.
