I, Mohamed M. Kahiah, Eminent Persons Representative of the North Eastern Region, wish to sincerely apologize to the community, our respected elders, and all stakeholders for the earlier press statement I made.
Upon reflection, I acknowledge that the statement did not fully reflect my intentions and may have caused concern or misunderstanding. For this, I take full responsibility and humbly ask for forgiveness from the community and our elders.
I hereby formally withdraw the earlier statement in its entirety.
I would also like to inform the public that I have officially defected from the DCP Party and joined the UDA Party. This decision was made after careful consideration and in what I believe to be the best interest of my political principles and the people I represent.
I remain committed to serving the community with honesty, unity, and respect, and I look forward to continuing to work closely with our leaders and elders for the development and well-being of the North Eastern Region.
Thank you.
Mohamed M. Kahiah
Eminent Persons Representative
North Eastern Region.
