Ms. Sheila Lamuno

Ms. Sheilla Lamuno is the Registrar and Sub-Accounting Officer of the Leadership Code Tribunal — the constitutional body established under Articles 234 and 235A of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda and the Leadership Code Act, Cap 33 to adjudicate breaches of the Leadership Code of Conduct. As the Tribunal’s chief administrative and sub-accounting officer, she translates its constitutional mandate into dependable day-to-day practice: ensuring that every matter referred by the Inspectorate of Government is registered, tracked and concluded in line with statutory requirements; that summons, orders and decisions are issued and communicated; and that the institution’s work plans, budgets, funds, assets and public records are managed transparently and accounted for in full.

An Advocate of the High Court of Uganda since 2011, Ms. Lamuno brings more than fifteen years of experience spanning legal practice, law reform, legislative drafting and the leadership of public institutions. At the Uganda Law Reform Commission she served as a Legal Officer, drafting Bills and participating in research, stakeholder consultation and advocacy that shaped legislative reform. She joined the Tribunal as Legal Advisor in 2020 and was confirmed as Registrar in April 2022, and has since strengthened its registry, records-management and financial-accountability systems — building the administrative foundation on which the Tribunal delivers its adjudicative mandate.

Ms. Lamuno holds a Master of Laws (LLM) in Corporate Finance Law, awarded with Merit, from the University of Westminster-UK; a Postgraduate Diploma in Legal Practice from the Law Development Centre (LDC), Kampala; and a Bachelor of Laws (LLB, Honours) from the University of Dar es Salaam-Tanzania. She is currently pursuing a PhD in Public Policy (National Security Policy), at Liberty University’s Helms School of Government in Virginia, USA, and has completed executive programmes with the Harvard Kennedy School, the London School of Economics and the International Anti-Corruption Academy. A member of the Uganda Law Society and the East African Law Society, she is fluent in English, Kiswahili, Luo, Ateso and Luganda.

Her core areas of expertise span tribunal registry and case administration, public-sector financial management and oversight, and governance and accountability systems, underpinned by a strong command of institutional administration and accountability, legal research and report writing, and legislative drafting and law reform, together with proven strengths in strategy development and execution, project delivery, and stakeholder engagement and leadership.
