Muslim leaders in Kabale are feeling sidelined by President Museveni’s recent engagements with other faiths, notably Catholics and Protestants. Chairman Hajji Isa Tindyebwa expressed frustration that despite their invitations, the President has not visited their community. They’re particularly concerned about the ongoing UGX 215 million residential house project for the District Kadhi, who currently rents housing far from the Muslim headquarters.

Key Issues:
- Lack of Engagement: Muslim leaders feel ignored by President Museveni, who has engaged with other faiths, creating a sense of exclusion.
- District Kadhi Housing Project: The UGX 215 million project remains a point of contention, with the District Kadhi currently renting housing far from the Muslim headquarters.
- Previous Meetings: However, it’s worth noting that President Museveni met with Muslim leaders in July 2023, promising to support their development initiatives under the Sharia law and exploring ways to integrate Islamic principles into the Parish Development Model (PDM) initiative.

Possible Next Steps:
- Dialogue and Engagement: Muslim leaders may seek to reinitiate dialogue with President Museveni to address their concerns and find solutions to the ongoing issues.
- Community Outreach: The President’s office may consider reaching out to the Muslim community in Kabale to understand their concerns and work towards finding mutually beneficial solutions.
