The Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims (SUPKEM) has officially distanced itself from a case filed at the High Court of Kenya by Cyprian Nyamwamu and 13 others.
In a statement released yesterday, SUPKEM clarified that they were not consulted before the case was filed and asserted that the council is incapable of filing a response in its own name.
SUPKEM’s leadership announced their intention to approach the honorable court to have the council discharged as an interested party in the matter.
The council emphasized that any involvement in the case had not been sanctioned by its leadership, reinforcing the need for proper consultation and authorization in such legal matters.
“As much we acknowledge and appreciate the constitutional right of Mr nyamwamu and his bellow petitioners to pursue the cause of action stated in their Application, we in SUPKEM wish to disassociate ourselves with this court process because being enjoined as an Interested Party were not consulted before” Stated Alhajji Hassan Ole Naado SUPKEM National Chairman.
The council also reaffirmed its earlier position regarding the recent historic protests by Generation Z, advocating for a serious national conversation to address the genuine issues raised by the youth.
SUPKEM underscored the importance of comprehensive and conclusive solutions to the concerns voiced by Generation Z.
They also expressed support for a structured and all-inclusive dialogue aimed at resolving the issues affecting the youth and the broader society. The council emphasized the need for collective efforts to ensure that the grievances of Generation Z are addressed in a manner that promotes peace and stability in the country.
“our position in support of a structured and all-inclusive dialogue to address the pertinent lisues raised by Gen Z is anchored in Article 10 of the Constitution on national values and principles of governance which include, among others, rule of law, democracy and participation of the people. we urge those who are opposed to dialogue to rethink their stand and embrace the call for an inclusive national dialogue. But we also call upon the political class not to use the opportunity for dialogue to entrench their vested interest at the expense of the well-meaning grievances raised by our young people,” said Ole Naado.
This distancing comes at a time when the country is witnessing increased activism and calls for reform, particularly from the younger generation, highlighting the urgency for meaningful engagement and resolution of their concerns.
