In his brief remarks to the participants, His Eminence Sheikh Shaban Ramadhan Mubaje, the Mufti of Uganda reiterated his earlier speech he delivered to the committee when they first converged, saying their appointment is another milestone in the history of UMSC.”We are certain that the new managerial systems are taking shape in the awake of the recent amendments in the UMSC constitution and a lot is expected more especially in the quality of work from the recruited staff,” Sheikh Mubaje emphasized.
He further observed that the committee is also expected to enforce discipline appropriately among the employees and urged the members to safeguard themselves against all temptations more likely to come their way as they execute their noble duties. He noted that among the committee members are Sheikhs who will be offering guidance blended on divine injunctions from the Holy Quran and teachings of Prophet Muhammad PBUH in regard to the their tasks.
