The Judiciary in collaboration with local government leaders stationed in the Ntungamo district have officially raised a significant alarm regarding the alarming and soaring backlog of murder cases currently pending within the local court system. According to the authorities, this troubling trend of unresolved legal matters is primarily being attributed to a persistent failure on the part of complainants to actively follow up on their respective cases as they progress through the judicial pipeline. Furthermore, the leadership has highlighted a widespread reluctance among the public to bring essential witnesses forward to testify in court, a situation that is severely hindering the administration of justice and causing unnecessary delays in the resolution of these critical criminal proceedings.
