The mufti if anything is only being politically correct.
There is no Moslem who goes to the mosque to be
told what political opinions as a religiuos entity they
should adopt.The same should likewise be with Christians.
Our politicians however always want to make undue political
capital out of the pronouncements of the religious leaders since
most of our people are more inclined at least to listen to the
religious leaders than the politicians whose Trademark is shameless
lies.
Kipenji.

The Mufti, Sheikh Shaban Mubajje, has said he will not pronounce his position and that of Muslims on the third term. He says it is a right of every Muslim to choose a political ideology to follow.
"I will never disclose my position on the ekisanja (third term) because I also personally don't want anyone to start questioning my kisanja. It is a right of every Muslim to decide his or her destiny," he said.
Mubajje was addressing Muslims who gathered on Tuesday to commemorate the 160 years of Islam in Uganda and the 32nd anniversary of the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council (UMSC) at Old Kampala hill.

Islam came to Uganda in 1844 through the Arab traders and the former President of Uganda the late Iddi Amin Dada started UMSC in 1972 after citing disunity that was alarming among the Muslims. Mubajje asked Muslims to maintain the existing solidarity.
"Amin established UMSC with a point of uniting Muslims. He died with a smile after hearing that what he fought for had been achieved," he told them.
