“All Muslims and Christians should pray for our country because we do not have another country,” he said.

Duale expressed gratitude to Nakuru’s leaders, specifically Governor Susan Kihika, for their support during Ramadan. He noted that the current government has been more inclusive toward Muslims, recognizing them not only as citizens but also as leaders—a historic shift in representation since independence.
