Justice Ruhinda appreciated all the resourceful support rendered to him right from the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development, his Deputy Head Judge, the Registrar, Panelists and support staff. Adding that the medal he recently received was because of their hard work and commitment.


Lady Justice Tumusiime urged him to continue working with the same integrity in his pro-bono work.
