Mufti Mubaje expressed his condolences during the final UMSC National Management Committee meeting for 2024, held at the UMSC headquarters, on Tuesday, December 31st, 2024. As the session Chair, while addressing departmental heads, he praised the late Hajjat Sarah Namusisi Kakungulu as a humble Muslim lady who led a fruitful life, embodying Islamic etiquette alongside Buganda’s cherished values.
She held a high position in the royal court as a Muzana, a beloved wife of a prince, and a caring mother, which allowed the late Prince Al Haj Badru Kakungulu to serve in various capacities in the public arena, most notably as the UMSC National Chairman from 1980 to 1985.
In her honor, Mufti Mubaje directed that Swatul Janah (funeral prayers) be held at the National Mosque.
