Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The newly elected parallel Mufti of Uganda Sheikh Abdalla Ssemambo has pledged to start with promoting unity among Muslims saying \u201cdivision in the religion has affected their development across the country.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

Speaking to the media during his first meeting with Muslim leaders (Imaams) in Kampala, Sheikh Ssemambo said his leadership will focus uniting factions created during Mufti Shaban Mubajje\u2018s regime.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the factions were cause by the acts of Mufti Mubajje because whatever he has done as a Muslim leader was contradicting with the Islamic teaching, starting with the sale of Muslim properties,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to revive all our structures which were destroyed by previous leadership. Whoever was not supporting the leadership was fired without a genuine reason and replaced by unqualified leaders,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Sheikh Ssemambo echoed that he will \u201cvery soon take over his office and the leadership of Old Kampala per the old Uganda Muslim Supreme Council (UMSC) constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever we are doing is in line with the law and the old UMSC constitution,\u201d he claimed.<\/p>\n

Still on Tuesday, he distanced himself from several sagas involving Mubajje.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince I was appointed deputy Mufti, I have never come across the accounts of UMSC or any document related to finances. All were managed by the Mufti and the Secretary General,\u201d Ssemambo noted.<\/p>\n

Ssemambo also revealed that he plans to save Muslim properties by engaging different people to raise a debt estimated over Shs19billion.<\/p>\n

Early this week, UMSC strongly rejected the alleged suspension of Sheikh Mubajje, saying the process leading to Ssemambo\u2019s election was unlawful.<\/p>\n

“We have the constitution which regulates the UMSCand we all know that members of General assembly do not elect the Mufti. Instead, Majilis AL-Ulaama (group of sheikhs) vet the Mufti,” UMSC Secretary General Abbas Sekyanzi Muluubya reiterated on Monday.<\/p>\n

According to the UMSC law, the mufti is the spiritual head and leader of all Muslims of Uganda<\/p>\n
