complaints from board members over the chairman, the governor added. The Council of Imams and Preachers of Kenya (CIPK) secretary general Sheikh Muhammad Dor told the President to reconsider his move as this will help promote good governance as well as good relations between the Jubilee government and the coastal people. Perhaps it was an oversight or the President was misinformed. We are requesting him to revoke the appointment of Muthaura and reinstate Prof. Shaukat to his position as the chairman, he said. Sheikh Dor said the scholar was steering the project in the right direction and had already embarked on the process to provide 1,000 educational scholarships to area residents as a follow up to the pledge by retired president Mwai Kibaki. Lamu Womens Representative Shakila Abdalla said Lamu people are the greatest stakeholders of the LAPSSET project and a person from the coast region should have been appointed to head the project. Her sentiments were shared by Kilifi North MP Gideon Mungaro who said the project was a coastal issue that required a local person to oversee while the Kilifi Senator Stewart Madzayo said the President was unfair to the local people when he picked Muthaura who comes from the Central region to head the project. The Kwale Women Women representative Zainabu Chidzuga termed the move by the President as a vendetta on the region for their failure to vote for Uhuru in the last presidential elections. The move to replace the professor who is from the region with Muthaura came as a big shock to the local leaders and this shows the Jubilee government is out to frustrate the region just because it did not vote for it, she said. The Seafarers Union of Kenya secretary-general Andrew Mwangura said the President was unfair to Prof. Shaukat and called for his reinstatement to the position. Prof Abdulrazak, like any Kenyan technocrat, deserves fair and humane treatment and we demand that his appointment as the Lapsset chair be upheld, he said.

his order, but they continued to hesitate. They did not oppose him; rather, they still hoped he might change his mind, for they had set out with the intention of pilgrimage and did not want to stop half way. Noticing this reluctance, the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam returned to his tent and asked Umm Salamah, his wife accompanying him at that time, what she thought of the situation. In doing this, he taught Muslim men an important social lesson: There is nothing wrong with exchanging ideas with women on important matters, or on any matters at all. She said, "O Messenger of God, don't repeat your order. They may resist and thereby perish. Slaughter your sacrificial animal and change out of your pilgrim attire. They will obey you, willingly or not, when they see that your order is final" (Al-Bukhari). He immediately took a knife in his hand, went outside, and began to slaughter his sheep. The Companions began to do the same, for now it was clear that his order would not be changed. Counsel and consultation, like every good deed, were practiced by
Ummah Rescues Deep sea slum dwellersDeep sea slum is in Highridge area and its inhabitants live under very horrid and poor environmental conditions. Most of them are domestic workers in the neighbouring affluent parklands estate while others are night watchmen and guards. Their daily income is quite low and the only accommodation they can afford is the iron sheet structures and box houses that they have constructed to serve the purpose of their homes. Those who dont work are in the business of manufacturing and selling the illicit local brews. However the village has quite a sizable number of Muslims who are frequent worshippers of the Highridge Mosque. They all live under the fear and risk of insecurity, thuggery and constant occurrences of fire that sweeps the whole village once it starts. As it is a phenomenon of all slums in Nairobi, crime is the order of the day. The routes within the slum are quite intertwined and even reaching the source of any fire outbreak is always a very big challenge to the fire fighters from the city council fire brigade. Before the beginning of the year the village got fire at the wee hours of the night and the infernal spread very quickly from house to house and so many people were burned and injured during the melee. Lights went off and looting and stealing become the order of the night as many people ran away for life with their children. Two people are reported to have died and many hospitalised. The rest who managed to ran away lost most of their house items to the fire and thugs. As we write now more than 200 families were left homeless after the fire was contained. The state is very heart breaking and it calls for humanitarian support. Ummah Foundation responded and in collaboration with the local chief and the area county representative Hon. Jaffer Kassam, food stuffs in terms of milk, bread and blankets were distributed to the destitute families. All the affected families and others who came around were distributed with the items and special attention was given to the children who were supplied with milk in large quantities. We would like to appreciate the efforts that were made by the local Chief and the area county representative for their concerted efforts in making sure these disadvantaged people get the help they rightful deserve from well wishers and Humanitarian Organisations. Ummah Foundation wishes to call upon other humanitarian groups and organisations to be in the forefront of helping our brothers and sisters whenever they are faced with calamities that they cannot contain. This is the Islamic spirit of helping fellow human beings and more especially our Muslim brothers and sisters. Allah subhana wa ta'la is in assistance of His Servant so long as the servant is in the service of caring for other Muslims.
