The government is not succeeding in imposing the Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims as the unique public spokesman for the Muslim community.

There has been a growing amount of discord between the three main Muslim organisations in Kenya of late, as they are taking up very different stances on sensitive public issues, such as the project to reform the constitution. The Minister for Defence, Yusuf Haji, the Deputy Speaker of the Assembly, Farah Maalim and the Muslim lawyer Ibrahim Lithome have therefore organised four successive meetings with the representatives of these organisations at the Jamia Mosque in Nairobi, during the first half of April, to ask them to reach an agreement. But so far to no avail!
