inShaKamuli- The Mufti of Uganda, Sheikh Shaban Ramadhan Mubajje, has urged government and security agencies investigating the death of Muslim clerics to exhibit high standards of professionalism in their work.

“We once again ask government, especially those concerned with security to apply skills and professionalism if we are to have a lasting solution to the killings of Muslims,” Sheikh Mubajje said.

The Mufti was speaking in Kamuli District at the weekend where he presided over the commissioning a Shs75m Muslim complex constructed by Kamuli Good Hope, a local NGO.

His comments follow a series of Muslim clerics killings in eastern region, the latest being the murder of Sheikh Abdulrashid Wafula, the Imam of Bilal Mosque in Mbale Town last week.

Sheikh Mubajje also called for unity among the faithful saying it was high time they shunned detractors and referred to those who peg conditions to the possibility of reconciliation between various Muslim factions as hypocrites.

“Whoever wants to bring hatred amongst you, tell them we belong to the Islamic faith, a religion of peace and harmony,” he said.

Sheikh Mubajje said his Highness the Aga Khan has handed over the land title on which the projects were constructed.
