Members of the public have been cautioned against a fake Facebook account bearing the name of one of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) commissioner, Justice Aggrey Muchelule, which is sharing explicit messages.
A statement issued on Wednesday by the commission said the account purporting to belong to the JSC commissioner was not genuine.
“The Commission wishes to notify the general public that on 27th September 2016, a Facebook account purporting to belong to Commissioner Judge Aggrey Muchelule was created,” said head of communication at JSC, Morton Saulo.
“We have noted the phony account manager is posting obscene content on the timeline. Being a public figure, the account is tainting the Commissioner’s image and reputation.”
The Commission since Monday has been conducting interviews for the position of Deputy Chief Justice.16 candidates seeking to succeed retired Lady Justice Kalpana Rawal are lined up to face the panel.
Justice Muchelule was elected to represent judges and magistrates at the powerful JSC on October 2013. He replaced Justice Isaac Lenaola whose three-year term at the commission had expired.
