Gubernatorial aspirant and senior diplomat Mohamed Shidiye has congratulated the people of Garissa, Kenya, and Muslims around the world as they begin the Holy Month of Ramadhan.
Ambassador Shidiye described Ramadhan as a sacred period for reflection, self-discipline, and renewed commitment to faith and community values.
He emphasized that the holy month offers an opportunity for individuals and communities to strengthen bonds, promote peace, and care for the most vulnerable members of society.
“Ramadhan reminds us of the importance of patience, humility, generosity, and service to others,” Shidiye said.
“It is a time to look beyond ourselves and work together for the wellbeing of our communities.”
The former Member of Parliament and ex-envoy to Botswana called on residents of Garissa County to use the holy month to foster harmony, mutual understanding, and social cohesion.
He noted that unity remains a critical foundation for sustainable development and good governance.
He further encouraged acts of charity and solidarity, particularly towards families facing economic hardship.
The envoy underscored the importance of prayer for peace, stability, and progress at both county and national levels.
“As we observe fasting and prayer, let us pray for forgiveness, guidance, and a future built on justice, dignity, and shared prosperity,” he added.
