Many people of Uganda are in fear after learning that Muslim leaders are secretly in meetings to run national wide protests over the death of Sheikh Abdul Karim Sentamu.

The Muslims say that they gave president Museveni and the Inspector General of Police, Lt. Gen. Kale Kayihura an ultimatum of only 14 days to publish the report why ‘they’ murdered Sheikh Abudul Karim Sentamu. Sheikh Sentamu was shot dead near William street mosque.

A prominent sheikh at Kibuli Mosque says that the ultimatum expired on May 5^th 2012 and the report has not come out by Monday 7th May 2012. The sheikh says that following the government’s refusal to honour the ultimatum calls for national wide Muslim protests. The sheikh says the date for the protests would be communicated soon.

MUASA President, Prof. Tanga Odoi says the government has failed to fulfill the promises made to the lecturers in September 2011 while convincing them to end the August strike.

He says up to now since their meeting with the president, issues of salary change, take over of wage bill by the government, to-up allowances and DAP pension funds held in in the National Insurance Corporation have not be addressed by the government despite the presidential directive that the matters be immediately be solved.

Odoi says they are now giving an ultimatum of two week to the ministry of education to urgently handle their issues before they go on strike again.

The lecturers held massive sit down strike in August that lasted for a month which later attracted the attention of the president but it seems the problems were just postponed instead of solving them.
