Mpuuga Urges Muslim Community To Continue Praying For The Nation

Leader of Opposition, Mathias Mpuuga has urged Muslims to keep praying for the nation even after the completion of their fast. According to him, Eid al-Fitr is a time for forgiveness, kindness, and compassion.

“It is a time of joy and celebration with friends and family. I want to send my very best wishes to Muslims at home and around the world celebrating the festival of Eid el-Fitr that marks the end of fasting of the Holy month of Ramadhan,” said Mpuuga in a statement.

Mpuuga says he is aware this Ramadhan has been really tough for Muslim communities. This is especially due to the of rising commodity prices.

The worsening poverty levels and an increasingly worrying human rights situation in the country.

He says most Muslim families have not enjoyed the observance of this important pillar of Islam. This is because they killed or locked away their bread winners in prisons and other illegal detention facilities over politically motivated charges.

“Our brothers and sisters in the Teso and Karamoja sub-regions are leading an uncertain life. This is due to the fragile security situation there. The farmers too were alarmed by an obnoxious agreement which committed their coffee to a shady investor as land grabs continue in many parts of the country.”

He however said, he is sure Allah listened to all the prayers that Muslims made.

“We have a strong belief that Allah has listened to the incessant prayers you have made through the days and nights of Ramadhan. The country will soon get back to the hands of the people.”
