Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 43, I wish to make a general Statement regarding the gesture of great religious tolerance and recognition of religious diversity exhibited by His Excellency the President of Republic of Kenya, President Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta. Hon. Speaker, being the convener of the Parliamentary Muslim Group and on its behalf, I wish to highlight the great respect that His Excellency Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta, EGH, accorded the Muslim religion during the funeral service of the late His Excellency Hon. John Pombe Magufuli, President of the United Republic of Tanzania. Hon. Speaker, on 22nd March 2021, His Excellency the President passed his tribute to the deceased at 12 noon to observe silence when the call for prayer known as Adhan was called. In doing so, the President displayed great religious tolerance, recognition of diverse religious practices and coexistence by the said gesture. This has resulted in great accolades to our President, the East African Community and worldwide. We, therefore, wish to applaud His Excellency Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta for this great act and stand in solidarity with him for the great respect that he showed in observing silence when the Adhan was called. I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
