“I sincerely thank the Muslim community of Bungoma for today’s Iftar. I appreciate your support and encourage you to continue standing with our government so that we can work together for the betterment of our people,” he said.
The Speaker also urged the faithful to pray for the nation, its leaders, and its people, underscoring the role of faith in promoting stability and progress.
