WINDHOEK, 11 JAN (NAMPA) - Uganda's Chief Justice, Alfose Chigamoy Owiny-Dolo on Friday paid a courtesy visit to Namibia’s Chief Justice, Peter Shivute in Windhoek.

Owiny-Dolo’s visit to Namibia is organised by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations, with the aim of exploring Namibia’s biomass and charcoal industry. On Friday, Owiny-Dolo said he has since visited two biomass a d charcoal sites.

“Namibia’s efforts in this area serve as a vital contribution to environmental sustainability and economic development, and I trust your tour has been both enlightening and productive,” Shivute told Owiny-Dolo.

Shivute stressed that Namibia and Uganda’s judiciaries enjoy warm relations rooted in a shared commitment to upholding justice and the rule of law.

Shivute also lauded Uganda’s plea bargaining system in criminal matters, noting that the same is long overdue for Namibia.

“Far from being perceived as letting an accused person off the hook, plea bargaining greatly assists courts to expeditiously dispose of criminal cases. I am advised that Uganda has made greater strides in this approach. Namibia is keen to learn from Uganda’s successes in this regard, and I believe Uganda’s experiences could offer valuable insights for our Judiciary,” Shivute added.
