Give Katureebe time to prove his worth

Uganda has for long been without a chief justice since the re-appointment the former Chief Justice Benjamin Odoki which re-appointment did not go easily with the Public as many protested his re-appointment as he had attained his retirement.To futher the protest, a constitutional petition was filed in Court and this stalled the whole process of having a chief justice for long. Given various demands from the society for the need of a chief justice, the President has appointed Jsc. Bart Katurebe as new Chief Justice of Uganda and the judiciary can now have the father of the house as they have for long been orphans. I have heard so much noise about the new appointment with many doubting his partiality, his delivery among others. I think it is time to give the new chief justice opportunity and space to prove his worth rather than spend lots of time making pre-judicial statements and procrastination about his delivery. We sometimes need to watch first and then comment in context!!
