The Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims (SUPKEM) faces a leadership crisis as Muslim clerics demand a shake-up due to alleged mismanagement of funds and lack of transparency. Concerns arose during a forum in Malaba town, Busia County, highlighting growing mistrust in SUPKEM's current leadership.

• Sheikh Ramadhan Musa, Busia Branch chairman of the Council of Imams and Preachers of Kenya (CIPK), accused SUPKEM's national leadership of failing to account for financial support from international Muslim donors.
• Alleged millions in bursaries meant for needy students were unaccounted for as of Monday, September 1.
• Discontent also follows recent issues with Hajj pilgrimage arrangements, where travelers faced missed accommodation and transport despite full payments to unofficial agents, with fault falling on SUPKEM.
• Mudhar Khitami, Chair of the SUPKEM Hajj Committee, recently announced SUPKEM would be the sole body responsible for future Hajj logistics, suspending seven agencies for violating regulations.
