Kenya: Kadhi Courts to Remain, Says Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka
10 September 2009
Nairobi — Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka has assured the Muslim Community that Kadhi's courts will remain in the Constitution. Mr Kalonzo said politicians and some religious leaders who are proposing the removal from the Constitution of the courts need to be educated on how they work. He urged Muslims to be patient and promote dialogue to ensure the courts are retained in the new law. "Kadhi courts should not be a contentious issue since they have been there for more than 45 years and it was included in different drafts before. There is need to retain the courts in the new Constitution," said the VP. Speaking when he joined Muslims in breaking the fast at Baluchi Mosque in Mombasa on Friday, Mr Kalonzo said the issue should not divide Kenyans. The VP said there is need to iron out differences between Muslims and Christians in the interests of peace in the country. Last month, Chief Kadhi Sheikh Hammad Kassim said Muslim leaders are in dialogue with people who are opposing the courts to ensure they understand how they work.
