The Uganda Muslim Supreme Council (UMSC) has appointed Sheikh Hafidh Haroon Muhammad Bukenya as the new deputy Mufti, replacing Sheikh Abdallah Ssemambo who resigned amid controversy.
The announcement was made at Old Kampala mosque by the Director of Sharia Sheikh Ziyad Lubanga on Thursday, in the presence of Mufti of Uganda Sheikh Ramadhan Mubajje.
This development comes as the UMSC prepares to celebrate 50 years of existence on December 12, 2024. Mufti Mubajje expressed pride in the council’s achievements, citing President Museveni’s acknowledgment of their growth.
