City businessman Hassan Basajjabalaba (pictured) has called for more women to join the business to become financially emancipated.

Basajjabalaba, who was speaking at a fundraising gala in Kansanga central market (Kampala) recently highlighted the need to involve women in business roles saying, “Women should not only stay home and execute chores but they should also engage in different businesses like retail and wholesale to champion financial freedom.”

Basajjabalaba also cautioned those who try to marginalize women in business to stop.

“The business community is for all but not for specific groups,” he said, “Our mothers of this nation should be given space to earn a living but not to push them away.”

But by breaking through societal barriers, Ugandan women have defied traditional gender roles and emerged as powerful agents of change.

According to government data, females constitute 51% of the total Ugandan population compared to males at 49%.

COURT has acquitted three senior Muslim leaders accused of fraud.

Following the rulling, jubilant faithful celebrate in Kampala as critics remain defiant and plan demonstrations.

Police has since deployed heavily and warned against violence on any of Kampala streets.

Sheikh Shaban Ramadhan Mubajje, the Mufti, Dr. Edris Kasenene, the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council secretary general and vice-chairman Hassan Basajjabalaba are accused of fraudulent disposal of Muslim properties, forgery and conspiracy to commit an offence.

The long-awaited verdict will be a landmark in the history of Islam in Uganda.

The property the officials allegedly sold is worth sh1b. They were sued about two years ago by a section of Muslims thereby creating two factions.

Haruna Jjemba, the Muslims chairman for Kampala, was the complainant.

Former Buganda Road Court Chief Magistrate Margaret Tibulya, who heard the case, is expected to deliver judgment today.
