    "content": "We respect the Muslims and other people’s ways of doing things. The reason I rose to ask the Question is because this order was given in Kilifi County. When you go to the neighbouring counties, people mourn their dead overnight and they have no problem. That is why I am questioning the validity of the order because there was no gazette notice. It is a crime to mourn the dead in Kilifi County. You cannot criminalise an action in one county when the same is being done in other counties without any problem. So, we need to know the validity of this order. The Cabinet Secretary should understand that mourning the dead should not be considered as Disco M atanga . People are stopped from mourning their dead in the traditional way. Muslims do their things according to the Quran. We are doing ours according to our culture. I do not think anybody should interfere with that."
