The High Court in Kampala has suspended an uncivilised staffer for attacking journalists.
Fred Waninda, the acting court registrar in charge of planning, performance and development is accused of assaulting two journalists; Hannington Kisakye attached to Smart 24 television and Erick Yiga of Salt Media Group.
This after the accused was captured on camera while attacking the scribes.
Esta Mbayo, the Chief Registrar of high court Uganda in a letter dated April 25, 2019 ordered Waninda out of office until the investigation is done.
“I have received media reports that the Ag. Registrar, Planning and Development, H/W Fred Waninda, assaulted journalists on the 25th April 2019 at the Commercial Court after appearing before Hon. Justice Jane Elizabeth Alividza,” Mbayo’s letter reads in part.
Mbayo directed further the Inspector of Courts to investigate all the allegations in Wanimba’s conduct and present his findings within seven days for further action.
