أوغندا: مطالبة بتعيين مسلم في منصب مدير مجلس مدينة كمبالا

- خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

طالب وزير الأمن الأوغندي "مورولي موكاسا" الرئيس "يويري موسوفيني" بتعيين السيد "حسن نكابالي" - المستشار الاقتصادي لنائب الرئيس - في منصب المدير التنفيذي لمجلس مدينة "كمبالا".

وقد أكد وزير الأمن في خطابه للرئيس أن المرشح المسلم شاب جدير بالمنصب، وأنه سيحقق طموحات الدولة في حالة عمله بالمنصب.

ويأتي هذا الترشيح بعد خلو المناصب التسعة لمديري مجلس المدينة من المسلمين، في ظل شكوى المسلمين من الإقصاء وعدم الحصول على وظائف بالمناصب الفنية والأمنية، خاصةً في ظل تشكيل النصارى قرابة 69%، والمسلمين 12% من التعداد السكاني للبلاد. المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

Minister wants Muslim for KCCA post

The minister of Security, Muruli Mukasa, wants President Yoweri Museveni to appoint a Muslim as the deputy Executive Director of the Kampala City Council Authority (KCCA).

The position has been vacant for over a year. In a recent letter to the president which The Observer has seen, Mukasa proposes that Hassan Nakabaale, the economic advisor to the Vice President Edward Kiwanuka Ssekandi, takes the job.

“Your Excellency, I humbly  second Hassan Nakabaale because not only is he a long serving NRM cadre, he is also a hard working youth  who I am sure will deliver to government’s expectation if appointed in this position,” the letter reads in part.

Nakabaale is an IT graduate. If Muruli’s request is considered, it will dampen Alice Muhoozi’s chances of securing the post. We reported in May that Muhoozi was a possible candidate for appointment as a deputy to Ms Jennifer Musisi.

Sources at KCCA say Muhoozi’s chances declined after the president learnt that she had contested for the position of director of Education and was defeated by Anne Galiwango. When contacted for a comment, Nakabaale neither denied nor confirmed Muruli’s proposal.

“I don’t discuss such things in the press especially since I don’t know your source of information,” Nakabaale said.

Of the nine directors at KCCA including the five town clerks recruited this week, none is a Muslim. Muslim leaders from both the Old Kampala and Kibuli factions have been complaining of being marginalized in the political and technical positions in the country.

Last month, the Muslim MPs were dismayed to learn that none of the six people appointed on the Citizenship and Immigration board was a Muslim.

Addressing journalists at Parliament, the Immam of Muslim MPs, Latiff Ssebaggala (Kawempe North), said they had forwarded a petition to the Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga asking the parliamentary appointments committee not to confirm the six until a Muslim is appointed.

Ssebaggala said the government should stop neglecting the Muslim community because it accounts for 12% of the population. According to the 2002 Population and Housing Census, 12% of Ugandans are Muslims, 42% Catholics, 37 % Anglicans and 8% fall in various other categories.
