President Yoweri Museveni is set to inaugurate the long-awaited Judiciary Twin Tower on the 9th of this month.
The twin-tower project, a testament to architectural prowess and efficient management, has been overseen by Permanent Secretary Pius Bigirimana, who successfully led its completion within a record time of four years.
Notably, this remarkable achievement includes overcoming the challenges posed by a two-year-long global pandemic that had severe economic implications.
The Judiciary Twin Tower project has been a cornerstone in the government’s commitment to modernizing infrastructure and providing a conducive environment for the judicial system. With a vision for an advanced and efficient judiciary, the twin-tower complex is poised to become a symbol of progress and innovation and will house two major Courts; Supreme and Appellate.
Supervised by the Permanent Secretary and Secretary to the Judiciary Pius Bigirimana, from its inception to completion, the Twin Tower stands out not just for its imposing structure but for the extraordinary facilities housed within.
This twin-tower complex boasts extraordinary amenities that go beyond the conventional expectations of a judicial building.
The inclusion of a fully-equipped gym, massage rooms, a conference center, and a dedicated kids’ corner for breastfeeding mothers reflects a forward-thinking approach to creating a conducive and supportive environment for all stakeholders.
One of the most remarkable features is the state-of-the-art office for the Chief Justice, providing a dignified and efficient workspace. Additionally, a restaurant exclusively for judges adds a touch of sophistication, emphasizing the importance of providing a comfortable and functional workplace for the judiciary.
Despite the inclusion of such luxurious amenities, the construction project managed to save a remarkable Shs 16 billion.
Furthermore, the completion of this facility will result in an annual saving of Shs 6 billion that was previously spent on renting spaces for the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal.
Bigirimana’s adept leadership played a pivotal role in the successful and timely completion of the project.
Despite facing the unprecedented challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, which significantly impacted the economy for two years, Bigirimana’s strategic planning and efficient supervision ensured that the construction stayed on course.
