The titular head of Muslims in Uganda, Prince Kassim Nakibinge, has called on security agencies to enforce the law professionally and within constitutional limits, warning against abuse of authority as the country prepares for general elections.

Prince Nakibinge made the remarks while hosting National Unity Platform (NUP) president Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu and other party leaders at his residence in Kibuli, shortly before Kyagulanyi began his campaign tour of Makindye.

Speaking to journalists after the closed-door meeting, Nakibinge stressed that security officers have a constitutional duty to protect citizens rather than intimidate them, and cautioned commanders against issuing unlawful orders that could put lives at risk.

“Security agencies must carry out their duties with integrity and in accordance with the law. Any instructions that violate people’s rights not only undermine professionalism but can also lead to unnecessary chaos,” Nakibinge said.

He also called on the Electoral Commission to organise a credible, free and fair election, urging that all candidates be given equal opportunity to present their manifestos.

Nakibinge appealed for calm before, during and after the polls, stressing that national stability should take precedence over political competition.

“Elections will pass, but Uganda will remain. Peace must be the priority for all actors if the country is to stay united beyond political divisions,” he added.

Kyagulanyi thanked Prince Nakibinge for his continued moral courage and advocacy on human rights matters.

“We appreciate Prince Nakibinge for always standing on the side of justice and speaking boldly on issues such as detentions without trial, abductions, and the suffering of ordinary Ugandans,” Kyagulanyi said, according to Nilepost.

The courtesy visit marked the start of Kyagulanyi’s campaign engagements in Makindye, a politically significant area of Kampala. After leaving Kibuli, Kyagulanyi and his team proceeded to Makindye East and West, where he addressed supporters as part of efforts to mobilize voters ahead of the elections.
