As the country prepares for the general election next year, Muslim clergy across the country have voiced concerns over the divisive manner in which political campaigns are being done adding that they will advise their members on the direction to take.

Fifteen upcountry Muslim associations who had gathered at Masjid Noor Jamia mosque to celebrate the birth of Prophet Mohamed said most of the politicians were trading insults instead of selling their policies.

They said they will not be influenced by anything but they will vet the ethics and integrity of every single politician.

They have added that some politicians have been bribing religious leaders so as to be endorsed.
