OVER 1,000 Muslims have gone for Haj in Saudi Arabia. “We have given out 1,025 free visas to Ugandans to go for Haj in Saudi Arabia,” a source in the consular section of the Saudi Embassy said on Friday said.
He dismissed allegations that Ugandans would be barred from participating in the Haj activities following the outbreak of Ebola in the country.
“They will participate in Haji activitivies because by the time the Ebola pandemic came in the limelight, some of them had already left the country. Saudi Arabia has not communicated to us about such a possibility.”
