Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The Muslim fraternity in Uganda has asked Parliament to ensure that Kadhi courts are fully operational.<\/p>\n

The request was put before the Speaker of Parliament, Ms Anita Among, and her deputy\u2014Mr Thomas Tayebwa\u2014after they hosted the Muslim fraternity to an Iftar dinner at Parliament on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince we have freedom of worship and expression, there is need for the Muslim fraternity to regulate and refer their affairs according to their Islamic teachings by having active Kadhi courts because it\u2019s one of the areas we are missing,\u201d Mr Hafithu Walusimbi, the head of Sharia from the Kibuli faction, said.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cAs Kibuli faction, we recently launched the directorate of Shariah and one of its responsibilities is to resolve some of the issues within the Muslim community, and we think it will be used as a stepping stone for the operationalisation of Kadhi courts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Walusimbi said the operationalisation of Kadhi courts will help lift some burden off Uganda\u2019s judicial system that is saddled with a punishing case backlog.<\/p>\n

Ms Among urged the Muslim fraternity to use the holy month of Ramadan to look after \u201cthe less privileged people who cannot provide for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Speaker also donated Shs50m to the Kaboowa Mosque construction project, and assured the Muslim community of support from Parliament.<\/p>\n

Mr Asuman Basalirawa (Bugiri Municipality, Jeema) said \u201cmore space\u201d should be allocated to Muslim legislators in \u201cthe new chambers\u2026because our numbers have grown.\u201d<\/p>\n
