Counsel Haj Muhammad Ali Aluma, Deputy Secretary General in charge of Administration and Finance and Sheikh Imran Ssali, Secretary for Religious Affairs.
Other members present were Hon. Kagiiko Imam Shaffi, Secretary for Social Services; Hon. Haj Ali Juma Ngobi, Secretary for Finance and Planning; Sheikh Abdu-Karim Abdallah Katamba, Director of Halal; Sheikh Juma Bakhit Cucu, Secretary for Education; and Hon. Abubaker Were Wandagho, Chairperson of the Electoral Commission.
Both delegations expressed gratitude to the Mufti for his focus, steadfastness, and patience amid challenges. They reaffirmed their loyalty to UMSC and the Mufti. The leaders were encouraged to adhere to the UMSC Constitution in their official duties.
Hon. Wandagho advised Kamuli Muslim District Leaders to initiate the election process to replace Haj Ngobi, the recently appointed Secretary for Finance. Additional speeches were delivered by department heads.
