The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Kumi, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | The Uganda Muslim Supreme Council-UMSC leadership has suspended the activities of Kumi District Muslim Council following an internal dispute between the Kadhi, Sheikh Abdul Wahab Kauta and the executive committee.
Recently, the joint session of Kumi Muslim District comprising the Executive Committee and College of Sheikhs chaired by the council chairperson, Abdallah Ebokorait resolved to suspend Sheikh Kauta for allegedly promoting disunity and disrespecting other leaders among other accusations.
According to Ebokorait, the meeting resolved that the Mufti of Uganda, Sheikh Shaban Ramadhan Mubaje appoints a new Kadhi. It is upon this background that the UMSC Secretary-General, Haji Ramadhan Mugalu has written directing the Kadhi to halt any council activities for two weeks until the headquarters intervene in the dispute.
