"...the entrenchment in the Kenyan constitution provision..."

Only Parliament can change the Constitution. The President's role is acceptance/rejection. Raila is making promises on behalf of an organ whose composition is yet unknown. In Parliament, the President's voting power = 1.

"...outlaw the targeting and profiling of any Kenyan community (including the Muslim) and subjecting them to human rights abuses, violations and discrimination under the guise of whatsoever..."

Covered under current law. The problem is, who will implement? The same abusers themselves (ie the police?). This agreement point is redundant.

V. Ensure equitable representation of all Muslims in all public appointments.

How do you measure "equitable?" What criterion do you use? Religion or tribe?

If you use religion, since religious groups tend to centre around ethnic groups (Sikhs are Punjabis, Irish are Catholic, Kisiis are SDA, Kyuks are Presbytarian), wouldn't a "fair" representation of one religious group amount to an unfair ethnic balance?

How "equitable" is Islam itself in Kenya? Does the Kenyan body of Islam reflect the national tribal/racial fabric? Are there any population biases - eg greater % of Walalos and Mwarabus, plus a few Asians? Being equitable on religious grounds will disturb the "equitable" tribal balance of Kenya, no? Is this just a backdoor way to get more jobs for Walalos and Mwarabus?
