"we shall be donating food items but also have a moment to share and hear from our chairman Museveni,” Hajjat Namyalo added.

Hajjat Namyalo also revealed that some well-wishers including Salaam bank have already boosted the preparations with relief items such as rice, sugar, beans, posho, soap, cooking oil among others. 

On the 13th of june 2023, the Ugandan parliament passed legislation to authorise Islamic banking, which president Yoweri Museveni signed into law in August. The legislation removed the requirement to establish a “central sharia advisory council”, which the Bank of Uganda had opposed.
