THE Uganda Muslim Supreme Council has asked the suspended council chairman, Hassan Basajjabalaba, to apologise to the Muslim community if he wants to retain his post.

Addressing Muslims during Juma prayers at Old Kampala mosque on Friday, the acting council chairman, Dr. Abdul Balonde, said doors were still open for Basajjabalaba if he admitted his mistakes.

“The issue is not dismissing officials for their wrongs, but to find lasting solutions to our problems,” he said.

Last week, the joint session resolved to suspend Basajjabalaba until the matter is resolved by the general assembly which will convene soon.

The joint session is the second organ of the council made up of the executive and colleges of sheikhs.

Speaking during the prayers, the Mufti, Sheikh Shaban Mubajje, urged Muslims to remain calm.

He said nobody will be imposed on the Muslims without going through the right channels.
