Sheikh Shaban Ramadhan Mubaje, the Mufti of Uganda has suspended the Bunyoro-Tooro regional Kadhi from office. Sheikh Muhammad Irumba has been suspended from office because of a number of issues, one of them being his cause of divisions among the Muslims in the region.
‘’You are hereby suspended from the office of the regional Kadhi Bunyoro-Tooro Muslim region with immediate effect,’’ a letter from Mubaje reads in part.
Mubajje requested Sheikh Irumba to hand over all the office equipment including the vehicle with immediate effect.
Sheikh Shaban noted in the letter he wrote that they established the Muslim regional administration to bridge the gap between the headquarters and lower administrative structure. But most importantly, to unite Muslims. He said Irumba has failed to unite the Muslims of the Bunyoro-Tooro region
He further said in the letter that this disunity has disrupted the smooth running of council work.
The Uganda Muslim Supreme Council (UMSC) spokesperson, Zziwa Ashraf said that the Khadi has failed to initiate developmental programs. He has by far, only confused the entire Muslim community in the region, hence his suspension.
It should also be noted that the entire Muslim region got fed up with him.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
