The Health Cabinet Secretary, Aden Duale, has condemned the Supreme Court's recent ruling that mandates equal treatment for all children in matters of inheritance, including those born to Muslim fathers out of wedlock, arguing it contradicts Islamic teachings.

• The court ruled on June 30 that all children, regardless of parental marital status, should be treated equally in succession.
• Aden Duale emphasized that Islamic law states children born out of wedlock inherit only from their mothers.
• Islamic leaders from the Council of Imams and Preachers of Kenya echoed Duale's sentiments, stating the ruling disrupts Islamic beliefs and should be addressed by the Kadhis court.
