By KALUME KAZUNGUMore by this AuthorMuslims in Lamu have decried a trend by government officials to hold public functions on Fridays. Speaking in Lamu on Wednesday, they complained that since the beginning of 2019, there has been an increase in official functions held on Fridays, hence disrupting their prayers as many people are forced to attend the functions instead of going to the mosque. FRIDAY EVENTSJust last week, Water and Sanitation Cabinet Secretary Simon Chelugui visited Lamu on a Friday where he launched water projects. Mr Abdulkadir claimed that the national government is deliberately trying to curtail Islamic worship in the region by having events on Fridays. How then do we have official functions being held every single Friday in Lamu?
