The Supreme Council of Muslims in Kenya (SUPKEM) has supported the dialogue on issues that have been raised by young people who are protesting against the government of President William Ruto, popular with Gen Z in order to stop the ongoing political turmoil in the country.
The chairman of Supkem, Hassan Ole Naado, has said that the council wants a political framework to be reached to address some of the problems that have been raised by Gen Z during their protests.
"Gen Z protests have made it clear that there are issues that need to be resolved in the country. The country deserves to start the dialogue so that the issues that were raised by Gen Z are fully addressed," said Mr. Ole Naado.
The chairman of Supkem who was speaking at the headquarters of Supkem in Nairobi added that the country can move forward only if Gen Z and the government agree.
At the same time, Supkem has withdrawn from the case that aimed to remove from power President William Ruto and Deputy President, Rigathi Gachagua.
The case was presented by activist Cyprian Nyamwamu, Khelef Khalifa, Janet Muthoni, Paul Rukaria, Fred Ogolla and six of their colleagues.
In the case presented on Thursday last week, the parties asked President Ruto and Mr Gachagua to step down from power for failing to fulfill their duty of good leadership to Kenyans since they were elected in 2022.
They said that the President and his deputy have violated the Constitution 31 times, mainly by doubling taxes on Kenyans, ordering protesters to be killed, protesters disappearing in a confusing way, increasing the cost of living and the government signing commercial agreements with the United States.
