Supkem officials have demanded an immediate election of national office holders.
According to officials, elections has not been done in the last 11 years.
Officials drawn from the Coast, North Eastern, North and South Rift led by Garissa county Supkem chairman Abdullahi Salat said this has been the case yet regional offices change leaders from time to time.
"The latest elections in sub-counties and counties were held last year. We have a new guard in the regions," noted Salat as quoted by Star.
"We expected the national elections to be held immediately but the plan was derailed. We want immediate elections for the national office," he added.
He accused some of the officials for turning the Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims into a political brokerage entity.
"They have derogated its mandate of championing for Muslims interests. Today, the organisation seems as if it is a personal property," said Salat.
"The situation has made Supkem lose favour and credence. There are people who frustrate attempts for elections", he lamented.
Turkana region Supkem chairman Yusuf Aremons, complained that some top officials are milking the organisation dry such as selling scholarships and diverting donor funds for personal use.
"The officials have constantly derailed election programmes and shifted goal posts," Aremons said.
