Muslim clerics in Garissa County have called on the political leaders to exercise caution in their words and find amicable ways of solving their differences.
The leaders, led by Sheikh Abdullahi Salat want both the Kenya Kwanza and Azimio La Umoja One Kenya coalition leaders in the bi-partisan committee to abandon their hardline stands and create room for unconditional discussions that will help to move the country forward.
Speaking after Idd-ul-Fitr celebrations at the general Mohammud Idd grounds Friday morning, Salat said that the religious leaders are ready to help on issues where the two groups fail to agree on while calling for Kenyans to be given a voice through public participation in the process.
“It is the responsibility of our leaders to sit together and find the solutions to the issues that are affecting the common citizens,” Salat said.
Thousands of Muslim faithful in Garissa gathered to mark the end of their month- long fasting during Ramadhan.
