Supkem condena ataque a reunião sobre orçamento na Catedral de Nairóbi

O Conselho Supremo dos Muçulmanos do Quênia (SUPKEM) condenou veementemente a interrupção de uma reunião que discutia o orçamento nacional na Catedral de Todos os Santos, em Nairóbi.

A reunião tinha como objetivo examinar os efeitos do orçamento nacional de 2026-27 sobre os cidadãos comuns após a sua apresentação pelo Ministro das Finanças, John Mbadi, na semana passada. O evento contou com a presença de líderes da sociedade civil, figuras religiosas, advogados e outros residentes. Um grupo de pessoas invadiu o encontro e causou tumulto, levando à intervenção de policiais. O Serviço Nacional de Polícia informou que iniciou uma investigação utilizando imagens de câmeras de segurança para identificar os suspeitos. O SUPKEM expressou consternação com o incidente e descreveu-o como uma falta de respeito por locais de culto. Em sua declaração, o conselho afirmou: “O que é mais triste é a audácia que demonstraram ao invadir com a intenção de ferir os participantes”. O conselho também alertou que a violência em curso poderia levar a uma situação semelhante à que precedeu as eleições de 2007.
