In a press release dated November 9, 2026, the Judicial Service said an agreement had been reached with the leadership of the two associations, allowing staff to return to work with immediate effect.
It said all courts across the country would resume normal sittings on Tuesday, November 10.
βFollowing productive discussions between the leadership of the Associations and the Management of the Judicial Service, a mutual understanding has been reached. Consequently, all staff are expected to resume their duties with immediate effect,β the statement said.
The suspension follows an industrial action that disrupted court operations and affected access to judicial services across the country.
The Judicial Service expressed regret over the disruption and apologised to the President, the Executive arm of government, Parliament, the legal profession and the general public, particularly court users.
βWe offer our most sincere apologies to His Excellency the President and the Executive arm of Government, the Honourable Speaker and Members of Parliament, the legal profession, and, most importantly, the general public and all court users, for the undue inconvenience experienced during this period,β the statement said.
The Service reaffirmed its commitment to the seamless and timely delivery of justice and thanked stakeholders for their patience as efforts continued towards a sustainable resolution of the issues raised.
JUSAG and SSAJUG began the industrial action over concerns surrounding the approval and implementation of revised salaries and conditions of service.
