Dear Fatma, You made me ask myself a pertinent question: "Is Kenya really a secular state?" Almost all political and other leaders mix their religious convictions with their statutory or political roles. From the President, his deputies, coucillors, chiefs, Headmasters, etc religion is apparent in their actions. We also have different by-laws in parts of Kenya that seem to be based on Islam, Christianity etc in various parts of Kenya. I wonder if Kenyans should simply be asked to vote for a state religion and make some provisions that accommodate the ''minority'' religions. We'd have a State religion and have provisions on law that protect persons who do not profess that religion. How palatable is that?
