NEW members of the General Court Martial were sworn in by Brig. Bernard Rwehururu, who was recently appointed by President Yoweri Museveni to head the army court. Brig. Rwehururu took over from Lt. Gen. Ivan Koreta, who had served for two terms.
The swearing-in ceremony for the new officers took place on Tuesday, at the General Court Martial premises in Makindye. The officers who took oath were Lt. Col. Sam Kakuru, Maj. Johnson Odoi and Capt. Augustine Bwegendaho, who will serve as the judge advocate.
Judge advocates are lawyers seconded to the court as technical persons to advise the panel. The other officers are captains Godfrey Abigaba, Naboth Mugisha, and Simba Ongol and Warrant Officer II to Desire Kimora.
Although Rwehururu took his oath as chairman of the court on July 31, the court could not sit before it was fully constituted.
