The Prince of Buganda Kassim Nakibinge has demanded the Inspector General of Police Lt Gen. Kale Kayihura to tell the country who killed Sheikh Abdul Karim Sentamu.

“It is now four months ever since late Sentamu was shot dead in Kampala. The Inspector General of Police declared a follow-up on the case and bring those assailants to book but we have not been updated on what is on ground”, Nakibinge said.

Prince Nakibinge gave the remarks during the reception held at his residence after prayers at Kabuli mosque to wish Muslims end of Holy Ramadan.

He noted that around the same time they lost the Deputy Mufti Sheikh Abdul Hakim Ssekimpi who had spearheaded the unity of Muslims country wide. “As Muslims, we lost a man who was putting us together once again,” he said.

He saluted all those who had supported the Muslim brothers in breaking their fast and encouraged those who participated in the fasting to continue with what they had committed themself to during the holy month and to remain religious.

Among the guests was the Third Deputy Prime Minister, Moses Ali who asked Prince Nakibinge to allow his home be used as a place where to have dialogue for those with conflicts.

He added that before the colonial master, Buganda was model for the rest of the country to learn from. The current religions should not divide the people of Uganda. Read more>>
