Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 30919, member: 2262"] Muslim leaders from the Masindi District asked everyone to help keep the sugarcane business safe. They believe this business helps make life better for many people who live there. Sheikh Safian Yahaya Mugisa talked about this during Eid prayers at the Kihande Mosque last Sunday. He asked Muslims to stay honest and peaceful. He said people should stop burning sugar cane, stealing it, or taking it without permission. "These bad actions hurt not just the sugar business but also hard-working farmers," Sheikh Mugisa said. He thinks people need to respect the deals they make with sugar companies. Breaking promises damages trust between everyone. Sugar cane growing happens a lot in Masindi. The local farm office says more than 70% of farmers make money from sugar cane. Kinyara Sugar Ltd runs one of the biggest sugar mills in East Africa and provides many jobs. Kinyara Sugar Ltd helps build schools, hospitals, farms, and roads on top of making sugar. Sheikh Mugisa praised them for helping farmers and joining government plans to build up the area. "They do more than just run a company—they show how businesses can team up with local people," Mugisa said. "Kinyara has brought jobs and money to our area." Sheikh Hashim Ssekandi also discussed Kinyara Sugar during prayers at Kirasa Muslim Primary School. He said the company creates jobs when young people really need them. "Kinyara makes lots of work chances," Ssekandi said. Both religious leaders asked everyone to protect sugar cane farming. They stressed that when sugar cane does well, everyone in Masindi does well because farming is the main way people earn money there. [/QUOTE]
