Tana River County Muslim clerics have asked the government to withdraw immediately the curfew recently imposed by acting Interior CS Fred Matiang’i.

Terming the curfew as unjustified, the clerics said the county “has never experienced cases of insecurity and attacks”.

Talking at a press conference in Garsen town on Monday, Council of Imams and Preachers in Kenya Tana River branch chairman Sheikh Musa claimed that the county has always been united and peaceful ever since President Kenyatta and Governor Hussein Dado came to power.

“We urge the government to lift the curfew because we cannot carry the burden of other counties,” he said.

The new ministry boss imposed a dawn-to-dusk curfew in the county together with Lamu and Garissa counties just hours after taking up his new role on Saturday.
