Sheikh Shaban Mubaje, the Mufti of Uganda has blamed government officials for spreading disunity among Muslims. He said this while addressing Muslims who attended Eid prayers at Old Kampala Mosque with Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja in attendance.
“Muslims are ready for unity but some government officials are against it and support the ones who divide us. They are given gifts, they are praised and at the end of the day will be seen as a recognizable institution,” he said.
According to him, unity among Muslims will not happen unless the government supports only Uganda Muslim Supreme Council as the only body that can unite Islam.
He says all efforts to unite Muslims are made impossible by some forces within government who support different sections to achieve their personal, political and economic agendas.
“Government should support Uganda Muslim Supreme Council if they really want Muslims to unite because Muslims are willing [to unite],” he said.
He added that on several occasions, some government officials have supported factions. They do this by offering money and official recognition to different factions.
This according to Mubaje has given them the strength to do whatever they want.
However, Prime Minister Nabbanja said she didn’t know her visit to Kibuli would cause such emotions. She says she gave the gifts as sent but asked to be forgiven.
I was the one who went to Kibuli but we have freedom of worship. The gifts came from the cabinet and I just delivered them. I don’t know whether I committed a sin by doing so. If I did wrong, I ask Allah to forgive me, ”she said.
