Muslim leaders and human rights groups in Mombasa were up in arms after a Supreme Court decision overturned the Court of Appeal ruling that allowed Muslim girls to wear the hijab in a church-sponsored school.

Council of Imams and Preachers of Kenya and Haki Africa, a Mombasa based NGO, Thursday protested against the decision terming it as “unfair” to the Muslim community.

CIPK organising secretary Sheikh Mohammed Khalifa said the decision by the top court is against the Constitution.

In 2017 Members of the Akorino sect were angered after more than six students were sent home from national schools for declining to take off their turbans.Image result for hijab school uniform

“This is not right and the decision could disrupt peace amongst us as Kenyans. This is unfair and the decision has angered us as a community. We need this decision to be reconsidered,” said Sheikh Khalifa.

Haki Africa executive director Hussein Khalid said they were “shocked and disappointed” by the decision claiming that it gives schools, particularly private ones, the discretion to decide whether to allow hijabs or not.
