KAMPALA– The Judiciary of Uganda has distanced itself from social media rumors indicating that High court ruling issued this week confirmed Sheikh Abdallah Ssemambo as the acting Mufti for Uganda Muslim Supreme Council (UMSC) replacing Mufti Ramadhan Mubaje.

“The attention of the Judiciary has been drawn to misleading reports by sections of media alleging that the High Court on Thursday December 21 agreed with the decision of the Resident Judge Jinja in Company Cause No. 002 of 2023 that resulted in the appointment of Sheikh Abudallah Ssemambo as the Acting Mufti of Uganda Supreme Council.”

Judiciary through its public relations office clarified that Hon. Lady Justice Alexandra Nkonge Rugadya halted the

Execution and implementation of the resolutions of the General Assembly made on 16th and 17th December 2023, that resulted in the appointment of Sheikh Ssemambo as acting Mufti pending the determination of the application by the same judge who made the orders under the law for Review of Court Orders.

“Relatedly, Miscellaneous Applications No. 309 of 2023, No.306 of 2023 and No.307 of 2023 have been referred back to Jinja High Court for hearing and determination.The Judiciary, therefore appeals to the parties and all concerned persons to remain calm and act responsibly, as we wait the decision of the Court in Jinja.” Reads part of the statement

Some Muslims from various parts of the country that don’t believe in Mubaje’s leadership want him to be replaced by another person since they allege that he has overstayed in office.

Among other reasons why they want him out of office is that he failed to protect Muslim property thus leading to an attachment order which have business man Justus Kyabahwa to attach several UMSC property including land at Old Kampala in order to recover his 19.2 billion shillings that he is demanding.
