The Mufti of Uganda Sheikh Shaban Ramadhan Mubaje has suspended the Kadhi of Sheema Muslim District, Sheikh Abdu-Majid Kamarampaka on allegations of adultery, abuse of office, corruption and disrespect.
He replaced him with the youthful Sheikh Sulaiman Kafeero in an acting capacity pending the approval of the College of Sheikhs-Majlis Al Ulama.
The Mufti made the decision in a special meeting convened by Sheema Muslim District Council at Kabwohe Hotel in Kabwohe Town in Sheema district.
In this engagement, Mubaje directed the Sheema Muslim District Chairperson, Hakim Mugabi Katono to present their petition against Sheikh Kamarampaka, which he read out.
Other accusations against the Kadhi were conflict of interest as he frustrated the process of securing a title deed for Sheema Muslim District headquarters, lack of accountability of the funds donated by President Museveni for the construction of the health facility, which has since stalled, mismanagement of fees collected from animal slaughter houses and improper behavior that has tainted his position as a leader.
Shortly after reading the petition, Mufti tasked Sheikh Kamarampaka to respond to the accusations, which he did on most of the issues but pinned on accountability of funds that he claimed was spent to host the President. END
