The interreligious dialogue forum attended by 50 influential youths sought to address religious differences that have continued to make youths vulnerable to manipulation by politicians to cause violence and promote peaceful coexistence.

The forum also provided an opportunity to enlighten the youths on the importance of participating in different democratic processes in the county, including the ongoing Mombasa County CIDP public participation forums.

Through the ECCES program, MUHURI aims to ensure peace in our communities even after the just concluded general elections despite efforts to disrupt the same. We appreciate our partners in Kisauni, religious leaders, youth groups, CBOs, and NGOs who have complimented our efforts in advocating for peace in our community. #ECCES

MUHURI Thursday participated in a peace forum organized by Kiunga Youth Bunge and interfaith members led by the Lamu County Peace Chairman, Bishop Kamau at the county commissioner’s office in Mokowe.
While addressing the county security council, Mr. Rono and Interfaith members demanded an urgent collaboration with security to eradicate and address drivers of conflicts, including post-election tensions, farmers and pastoralist conflicts, fast-tracking issuance of Identity cards, immediate investigation and action of the recent police brutality and calming inter-religious tensions.
#MUHURI demanded a quick establishment of police posts at Kiangwe and Basuba to enhance access to justice and prevent citizens from taking the law into their hands.
We are delighted that the #Lamu County Commissioner committed to uniting the stakeholders and resources to ensure the #safety, #peace, and #security in Lamu County are met and guaranteed to the residents and visitors.
