“We urge Prof. Kindiki to maintain a leadership of equality among all Kenyans regardless of differences in backgrounds, religion, gender and political affiliations,” noted the group’s Chairperson, Sheikh Abu Qattada.
Additionally, the religious leader pleaded with the new DP to work cordially with President William Ruto to ensure that they deliver effectively on the government’s mandate and progressively improve the livelihoods of Kenyans.
Qattada added that they are looking forward to seeing the Deputy President working closely with relevant authorities to ensure institutions of government work and execute their mandate efficiently to make a positive impact and nurture nationhood.
