The Mufti of Uganda His Eminence Shiekh Shaban Ramadhan Mubaje, has partly blamed the continued disunity among Muslims in the country on a section of government that he says has been fueling disunity among them, to the extent of using corrupt means to mess up the Muslim unity.

Sheikh Mubaje made the remarks at Gadhafi National mosque at Old Kampala hill while addressing Muslims who had gathered for Eid al-Fitr prayers today.

The Mufti noted that although Muslims have internal problems, which they have been trying to solve, all efforts to unite Muslims are made impossible by forces traced within the government who support different sections to achieve their personal, political and economic agendas.

He made the remarks in presence of the Prime Minister Robina Nabanja who represented the government in the Eid prayers. In her own words, Nabanja revealed that she felt like the Mufti was somehow indirectly referring to her recent visit to Kibuli where she offered some money and other items from the central government.

In her defense, the prime minister noted that personally, she is not among those fueling disunity but rather acting as a tower of communication with intention of playing the part of a mediator. She further told the congregation that her visit to Kibuli was on the invitation of Hajj Moses Kigongo, the national NRM vice-chairperson.
