The Mayor also condemned the act of beating Muslims by security operatives who turned up at Kololo Independence grounds recently to receive rice for Ifatari during the Ramathan.
“Muslim leaders should start mobilizing for funds from fellow affluent Muslims and other non-Muslim well-wishers to provide food to those who are unable to cater for such a basic necessity.” Moyar Mulyanyama argued.
He delivered Shs 1million that NUP President Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu a.k.a Bobi Wine donated to the Muslim community of Nakasero Mosque to by food.
Mulyanyama further said, “People die in their cars while parked in parking yards due to the heavy taxes that have made their businesses collapse.”
He also said that he doesn’t have hope in Balaamu Barugahara the new Minister for Youth Affairs who said that he will talk to president Museveni and ask him to pardon the youth political activities languishing in prisons.
The Mayor said that most of the youth who are political prisoners are being hoodwinked for supporting Kyagulanyi Ssentamu (Bobi Wine) and his National Unity Platform Party.
