The Uganda Muslim Supreme council, Ibanda district Acting Khadi, Sheik Yusuf Kalule has hailed the ruling National Resistance Movement government for initiating universal education.
Addressing over 100 Muslim women from ten districts that had turned up to participate in the reading and reciting the Koran verses, Sheik Yusuf observed that the universal education has greatly eradicated illiteracy and ignorance in Uganda.
Sheik Kalule appealed to all Moslems to read the Koran every day which he says is vital in grooming quality professionals in the Islamic faith.
Sheik Kalule turned weapons against vices of homosexuality and lesbianism among men and women respectively and urged Ugandan authorities to use an iron hand in fighting such evil practices.
He condemned the poor and provocative dressing among girls which he said is disgrace to parents and disastrous to men.
Mukundane Sydat from Mbarara, Hadijja Nakavuma of Ibanda and Sulaina Sumahili of Kasese were declared the best readers of the holy book Koran.
