“The bicycles will be helping the Muslim leaders in terms of transporting selves while serving the community, this year I have decided to donate these bicycles to Entebbe Imams, to ease their transport while serving the community and I promise to continue supporting them in every thing”, the Consular said

The Consular while presenting the Ambassador’s message to those present at the ceremony added that he is happy to have been able to fulfill his pledge to the Muslim leadership and hopes to continue supporting the Muslim fraternity.
