"It appears he'd loosened his seat belt, and unfortunately when he had the accident, it had a very big impact and it is feared that he could have broken legs and arms," said Karemani.
Masindi, Kiryadongo, Kibaale, Hoima and Bullisa districts all fall under Gandenya's jurisdiction. Police is yet to ascertain the cause of the accident.
Gandenya, who joined the Judiciary in 1995 has been instrumental in the restructuring of the Judiciary, designing a case backlog reduction strategy, reforming and rationalizing the inspectorate of courts especially during his reign as the chief magistrate. He previously served as the technical advisor to the Justice Law and Order Sector and has since served the Judiciary in a number of capacities.
