Irene Mulyagonja

Irene Mulyagonja Kakooza (née Irene Mulyagonja), is a Ugandan lawyer and judge who was nominated to sit on the Uganda Court of Appeal on 4 October 2019. Quotes I am not religious. I believe in God, I draw my strength from God, I belong to a church and prayer group, I do my devotions every day, I take time off to read the word of God and to pray and I believe I get guidance from God. I listen to music, I like to watch movies, but I don’t get time to watch them. I would like to read a god book but certainly have no time. I like human interest and stories about a family, a person and motivational books. What I have observed is doing investigations and making recommendations that are not implemented because of the wishes of some political leaders. But as lawyers we are trained to accept losing some and wining some cases. I know what people want to see is us going after the so called big-fish; that is when they realize that you are doing work, but a lot of work being done by the inspectorate quietly but effectively. I think I have discovered that I can stir the institution into the right direction. There are very many cases we have worked on successfully, I cannot enumerate. Also note that my time at university was the most challenging in my entire academic life. Because of my inability to write, things became very difficult for me and I was very apprehensive at how this would all end. I felt quite miserable at the beginning of my university tenure but my aunt, Idah Okunga, with her husband helped me a great deal.
