MUKONO: ACP Hajji Sulaiman Kilungi who represented the Inspector General of Police at the Mukono-Muslim community donation said most of the Muslims are finding it hard to break the fast, especially during this holy month.
Hajji Kalungi blamed the situation on the infamous COVID-19 pandemic, which hit the Muslim community hard.
He said this as the Uganda Police Muslim fraternity donated Ramadhan (Iftar) items to the Mukono Muslim community on Wednesday, April 27, 2022.
The assortment of food items was distributed to the Muslim community of Kiwango, Kasayi and Nakagere mosques in Mukono District. This was done in partnership with Salaam TV, to enable them to break their fast..
The items range from sugar, rice, cooking oil, wheat flour and maize flour which are commonly used during this holy month of Ramadhan.
Hajji Kilungi also noted that the move is a sign of unity and appreciation from the Police.
“We work hand in hand with Wanainchi and in this Ramadhan, we decided to share the little we have as a sign of togetherness,” he said.
He was flanked by a team of officers including ASP Aisha Kayongo and ASP Mary Nankinga.
The items were received by Muslim leaders from the three mosques who appreciated the timely gesture occasioned by Police and prayed for the Almighty Allah to bless the act.
