Speaker Among Urges Unity and Development Advocacy from Religious Leaders

Speaker of Parliament, Anita Among, has urged religious leaders to champion unity within their communities, emphasizing the importance of standing together as brothers and sisters in faith. Among condemned divisive forces threatening to weaken society’s fabric, highlighting divisions orchestrated by selfish individuals as particularly detrimental to the well-being of the people.

During a meeting with leaders of the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council from Mbarara District on Thursday morning, Among encouraged religious leaders to take a proactive role in shaping the nation’s future by advocating for development-oriented leaders. She criticized leaders who habitually oppose government initiatives without considering their potential benefits, urging religious leaders to offer constructive alternatives and support positive change.

Accompanied by the member of Parliament for Mbarara City South, Mwine Mpaka, religious leaders led by the District Khadith, Sheikh Abdallah Mukwaya, visited Speaker Among to provide updates on the construction progress of a mosque in the district. Among’s generous contribution to the mosque construction project underscores her commitment to supporting community development initiatives and fostering collaboration between religious leaders and government authorities.

Speaker Anita Among’s call for unity and development reflects a concerted effort to address pressing societal issues and promote inclusive growth within Uganda’s diverse communities.
