"Msilete Mwanamke Hapa": Duale Warns Chief Justice Against Appointing a Female Chief Khadhi

Garissa Township MP Aden Duale has warned Chief Justice Martha Koome against appointing a female Chief Kadhi.
Duale vowed to resist any attempts to install a woman into the position, arguing that the function of Kadhi is not a woman’s role as per the Islamic religion. He stated that Islam as a religion has placed women in high esteem with clearly defined roles by each gender.
“We will not accept women Kadhi. It is not found anywhere in the Holy Quran or the teaching of the Prophet. Islam has a special place for women. We have been taught the roles they can perform and roles they cannot perform,” Duale stated.
The former leader of the majority in the National Assembly further reprimanded the current Chief Kadhi Sheikh Muhdhar for welcoming the idea of naming a woman to the position. Muhdhar opined that anyone who studied Sharia law can be Kadhi irrespective of their gender.
A section of female activists initiated the debate with calls to have women Kadhis in the country. They noted that the appointment of Koome as the Chief Justice has emboldened their resolve to go for the position of the Chief Kadhi.
The activists argued that female scholars are needed at the helm of Kadhi’s court to handle marital and other cases.
But Duale insists Muslims should be left to decide on their fate, noting that they supported the 2010 constitution for two reasons, the Kadhi’s court, and devolution.
“We wanted to run our affairs when it comes to marriage, divorce, and inheritance in accordance with the Holy Quran and teaching of the prophet. Just because Martha Koome is Chief Justice, we will not allow women Kadhis,” he stated.
“Do not interfere with how the Muslim religion is run in this country the same way we will not interfere with the Christian faith. We must respect religious leaders if you want Kenya to be a good country.”

@ Sam Ingram,right on. Why is he crying wolf? Does he have some inside information as to the working or mind of the CJ. The chief justice in her wisdom is free to choose whomever she feels is comfortable to execute his or her responsibilities regardless of gender. After all dont we want gender equality. So if a woman is elected the better.

Duale might have to take his believes back to Somaliland where he belongs. Huyu mkora bestie wa Ruto was illegally importing sugar and working with Kiunjuri then agricultural secretary to create an artificial shortage of the Kenyan grown sugar so they can rake in big bucks. He should take his buddy Kiunjuri with.
The only reason he is against women in kadhi courts is just so he is assured of continued corrupt influence.

Duale is a man speaking. Let's hear from Muslim women. Yes this religion needs reform.If a woman is qualified,and its clear that she would out perform a man, then you are denying your community valuable input.
I hear that Mohammad encouraged education.If true,then let women apply their knowledge where they are good at,from what they have learned-freedom of choice.Otherwise why get education.To stay home and babysit?
Why is Duale silent on Alshabab? Not talking about lip service here.
Kenyans should not be divided by religion as much as they should not be divided by tribe.
Finally,I hear that the Koran tells muslims to kill the infidels where ever they can find them.That's not nice.Iam glad the majority of Muslims see the fallacy in this admonition.

I have read the HOLY QURAN...There is nowhere that it's written that a WOMAN CANNOT BE THE CHIEF KADHI. Now this is the way politicians and RELIGIOUS LEADERS use the HOLY BIBLE and the HOLY QURAN to suppress our MOTHERS and SISTERS.
Duale needs to understand that each PROPHET came and preached about their TIME and the conditions that were there.

Some woman may have stretched duale’s nuts to make him be that mean to women; his mother included. Is that is not the case, Duale must be a product of two men who got together and produced this dog.
