Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The Muslim fraternity, which is still mourning the death of two Muslim envoys, has asked President Museveni to appoint fellow Muslims to replace them.<\/p>\n

In January, Uganda\u2019s High Commissioner to Kenya and Seychelles, Mr Hassan Galiwango, succumbed to heart failure in Nairobi, while his Iran counterpart, Muhammad Tezikuba Kisambira,75, passed away on August 4 in Tehran.<\/p>\n

The call was made by the deputy head of Mission Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Ambassador Suleiman Gugwa, during the burial of Ambassador Kisambira at Bulopa Village, Bulopa Sub County in Kamuli District on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have lost two Ambassadors; Hassan Galiwango (Kenya) and Muhammad Kisambira (Iran), all of them Muslims and yet we are few; so, we request Mzee (Museveni) to still think about us and replace them with Muslims,\u201d Ambassador Gugwa, who was backed by Al Haji Abdul Nadduli and Ms Salaam Musumba, said.<\/p>\n

Al Hajji Naduli is the former minister without portfolio, while Ms Musumba is the Opposition Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) Vice Chairman for Eastern.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a message signed by the Permanent Secretary, Mr Vincent Bagiire Waiswa, which was delivered by Mr Philip Odida, said the deceased has greatly contributed to the strengthening of bilateral relations between Uganda and Iran for the mutual benefit of our respective people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ministry, therefore, greatly appreciates the contribution made by the late Ambassador Muhammad Kisambira in promoting Uganda\u2019s interests in Iran and all countries accredited under Tehran Mission,\u201d Mr Bagiire said.<\/p>\n

The Ministry added that the deceased served as Head of Mission, in Tehran between 2020 and 2023 and his service was characterised by commitment, dignity, loyalty, patriotism, diligence, humility and unquestionable integrity<\/p>\n

Ambassador Moses Kizige, Uganda\u2019s envoy to Russia, described the deceased as a \u201cworkaholic and go-getter\u201d who stood for Islam and Busoga as a region, often making daring and bitter truths that shaped and guided development and unity.<\/p>\n

After the burial, the family, during a meeting with Ms Rebecca Kadaga, the First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for East African Community (EAC) Affairs, asked the government for support to the children.<\/p>\n

They cited Ms Asia Nakayima, a student of Biomedical Science at the University of Pakistan and Mr Nai\u0308f Kisambira, whose contract as a Business Liaison Officer at the Tehran Embassy expired.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaji Kisambira has been shouldering many responsibilities and ensuring children, including vulnerable ones, get education,\u201d Ms Hajira Naikoba, the widow, said.<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cWe request to meet Mzee (Museveni) and thank him for standing with us and to also seek his hand in supporting the family to fill the huge gap left by the deceased.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ambassador Kisambira is survived by a widow and 24 children.<\/p>\n
