Kampala — THE National Resistance Movement (NRM) vice-chairperson, Al Hajji Moses Kigongo, has advised Muslims in Mayuge district to desist from acts of envy, hatred and intrigue if they want to develop their religion.

Kigongo said: "What has caused hatred among individuals is the issue of people not loving themselves in society. We should know that where there is love and unity, there is a generation of ideas and skills to develop you."

He commissioned the Kigulu Masgid Taqua Mosque at Kigulu Primary School, Kigandalo sub-county on Friday.

The $13,000 mosque was built by the Munazamat Al-Dawa Al-Islamiya organisation.

Kigongo was accompanied by state ministers Ruth Nankabirwa (defence), Rukia Isanga Nakadama (gender), the Mufti of Uganda, Sheikh Shaban Mubajje and the organisation's country director, Galal Wahbi.
