    "content": "Constituency in Garissa County. On Tuesday 24th July, 2018 at 11.00 a.m., a primary school teacher by the name Christopher Juma Mwaniki, snatched a Quran from a student, threw it on the ground and thereafter stepped on it in the presence of the student, teachers and a parent. The said teacher has lived with the community since 2015 and has been an employee of the school. This act outraged the residents of Ijara Constituency leading to a peaceful demonstration being held in the constituency. The public outcry was also experienced not only in Garissa County, but also in Wajir, Mandera and many religious organisations as a result of this act that was aimed at provoking religious animosity among peace loving communities. This action not only goes against Article 32 of the Constitution, but also offends Islamic religion and the Christian faith that embrace tolerance and respect for other people’s faith. It also offends the social fabric of our great nation."
