• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that Muslim students at the University of Nairobi (UON) are not being provided with facilities of worship at the institution. (b) I am also not aware that the said students are discriminated against and that students of other religions practise their faith in proper places of worship. The places of worship surrounding the university are owned by respective religious groups. The University has no permanent places of worship for any religion within its precincts.

In the meantime we will give them special places where they can perform their prayers. However, with regard to issues of land ownership, we will not entertain that in the meantime. view
• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stated that students, not only in UON, but all universities together with their constituent colleges will have to provide special places where Muslim students can perform their prayers. We will ensure that is done by all the universities in the country. view

This is usually done by various faiths, denominations and sects. However, it is not going to be a priority to look into all those issues. view
• 6 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if that request is put to us, we can look at it, but for as long as the Muslims praying in the mosque do not claim land from the University. That can still be considered. view
