The Director of Police Crime Intelligence in Uganda met with the tabliq on Wednesday, August 23, 2023, at the headquarters in Kololo, where AIGP Brig Christopher Ddamulira chaired the meeting and thanked them for accepting to meet and devise means on how the two groups can work together to ensure peace and security.

He also asked them to fully cooperate with the authorities and security forces to find and expose those elements that damage the image of the Muslim faith.

However, the purpose of the discussion was to determine how the Ugandan police and the Tabliq community could come up with ways to collaborate closely to maintain national security and peace.

“This is an important step towards strengthening community collaborations and boasting security,” Brig Ddamulira said.

AIGP Ddamulira urged all security forces to improve all levels of cooperation and communication with the Tabliq sect leaders.

The Tabliq sect praised President Museveni for legalizing the operation of Islamic banking in Uganda and for signing the Anti-Homosexuality Bill.

They also requested that the President provides more resources for Muslims, such as tractors.

In the meeting, both parties agreed to keep lines of communication open between the police and the Tabliq sect leadership to ensure that issues of common concern and difficulties are quickly resolved.
