Sheikh Shaban Mubaje has urged Muslim leaders to embrace unity drive. He said that the majority of Muslims at the lower levels have agreed to embrace unity. This is in fulfillment of the divine ordinance the Holy Quran and prophetic sayings contain.
Mubaje thanked some leaders for coming out boldly to rally Muslims towards unity. He said he didn’t want to appear as a dictator on this that is why leaders talking behind him means a lot.
He specifically thanked Sheikh Abdu Obeid Kamulegeya and Sheikh Muhammad Yunus Kamoga.
Sheikh Abdu Obeid Kamulegeya, noted that regardless of the insults from ill-minded people, he shall still stand for unity.
“We will be insulted and cajoled by some ill-minded elements but remain focussed on consolidating unity because it is not a personal choice rather the fulfillment of Almighty Allah’s commandments,” he said.
Sheikh Mubajje even disclosed his encounter with Amin during a consultative unity conference held at UMSC Conference Hall at Old Kampala.
This apparently happened in 1991, on his way back from Mecca. It shocked him when the stranger introduced himself as Idi Amin Dada.
“He greeted us in Swahili. I was shocked when he introduced himself as Idi Amin Dada, the former President of Uganda. While departing, he passionately advised us never to betray and abandon the cause for the establishment of UMSC.”
Sheikh Shaban Mubaje revealed that this message sunk deep no wonder the developments 21 years later.
“Now 21 years since assuming the office of the Mufti, we have managed to realize that dream and a lot of positive change has been registered.”

![[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.
