RE: HIS EMINENCE KOFFI ANNAN

SAAJ became a member of the Inter Religious Group ( I.R.G.) with effect from this year.
This week the Inter Religious Group was invited to meet with His Eminence Koffi Annan during his 3 day visit to Kenya.
As a member of the group, I was invited to be part of the delegation to meet his Eminence.
The IRG met his Eminence Koffi Annan on Tuesday 06.10.09 from 12.15 pm to 1.00pm at the Serena Hotel where deliberations were made in respect of the post election violence and the progress made.
A memorandum on the views/comments by I.R.G. was presented to his Eminence Koffi Annan. A copy of the same is in the SAAJ office for any member who wishes to read the document.

Review of Kenya Constitution
As members of IRG, one of the areas we intend to review is in respect of Sharia/laws affecting our religion. As the making of the new constitution for Kenya is in progress, it is imperative that our views are also presented.
I therefore request members of our community who wish to contribute on the same to do so by sending it to me or the secretary in writing through the SAAJ office.

With Salaams
