She made the remarks during a Thursday morning meeting with leaders of the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council from Mbarara District who briefed her on the progress of construction for a district mosque, to which Among had previously contributed.
Among urged religious leaders to champion unity within their communities, emphasizing the importance of standing together as brothers and sisters in the Muslim faith.
She also condemned divisive forces that threaten to weaken the fabric of society.
In addition to fostering unity, Among encouraged religious leaders to play a proactive role in shaping the nation’s future by advocating for leaders who prioritize development. She criticized those who habitually oppose government initiatives without considering their potential benefits.
“As you go back, go and talk to the people that they must unite if they want to get whatever they want. If you are not united as a Supreme Council, you will not be able to develop,” said Among.
The religious leaders who were accompanied by the member of Parliament for Mbarara City South Mwine Mpaka, were led by the District Khadith Sheikh Abdallah Mukwaya.
