She expressed dissatisfaction with the mode of transporting cows noting that some times they are transported in car-boots.

“We cannot eat good meat when the cows are being mishandled because they reach here very stressed” she noting that Halaal meat is safe meet.

She revealed that there is growing market for Halaal meat in Saudi Arabia and other countries and pledged to work closely with the UMSC Halaal Directorate to ensure that the meat exported is Halaal meat.

“Let us keep working together because this is very important for my sector, for this country, internationally and the market of beef” Hon. Kabatsi said.

Speaking on behalf of His Eminence the Mufti of Uganda Shk. Shaban Ramadhan Mubaje, the UMSC Director of Sharia Shk. Yahaya Ibrahim Kakungulu thanked the government for recognising the right of Muslims to slaughter animals.

“If we abuse the institution of Halaal, we risk losing it”
