The JLOS House Project, is a proposed three-component government office development project in Uganda's capital city of Kampala, to house the offices of the Justice, Law and Order Sector (JLOS). The three components of the project are:
The first component of the project is the JLOS Towers to be located at 98-102 Katalima Road, in the Naguru neighborhood, in the Nakawa Division of Kampala, about 6 kilometres (4 mi), northeast of the city's central business district. The coordinates of the JLOS Towers would be 0°20'28.0"N, 32°36'39.0"E (Latitude:0.341114; Longitude:32.610832).
The second component in the project, is the headquarters of the Uganda Police Force, to be constructed immediately south of the JLOS Towers, at 40-96 Katalima Road, Naguru.
The third component is the renovation, refurbishment and enlargement of existing office buildings that house the Courts of Appeal and headquarters of the Judiciary, to accommodate the Uganda Supreme Court, currently housed in a building on Upper Kololo Terrace on Kololo Hill. That location is located in the centre of the city, bounded by Lumumba Avenue to the north, Buganda Road to the south, Square One to the west and Square Two to the east. The coordinates of this location are: 0°18'56.0"N, 32°34'46.0"E (Latitude:0.315556; Longitude:32.579438).
