Two years in a row Majengo as a community has been getting a lot of attention from media houses and the whole nation in general. People have been very attentive to every movement going on in this small community of ours. There are a lot of things that have been going on in the streets. Some like theft and murder have been over looked by the media. One thing that hasn't missed thh attention of the media is the ever growing stories and theories surrounding Al-Shabaab in this small area. People have been very keen on this issue and always want to know how, what, why, when the Al-shabaab issues develop.

The media has not failed the nation in delivering the news to them. They have been following up all sorts of stories of Al-shabaab in this area. We congratulate the media on this. Where the media has failed is at categorizing Pumwani Riyadha Mosque Committee together with Muslim Youth Center. This has got many people to believe that these two have links and that they work hand in hand with each other. PMRC has responded to this allegations by speaking out to MTAANI.COM.
An official from the committee said:" Pumwani Riyadha Mosque Committee (PRMC) is not in any way linked to Muslim Youth Center (MYC). As the name suggests, we are a committee for the mosque and nothing more than that. Our work is to monitor the development of the moque which includes construction of the new Pumwani Riyadha Mosque and management of the Mosque's assets. We are registered under the registrar of societies act at the Attorney General's office where as MYC is registered under the S.D.O's office. PRMC is a committee and MYC is a community Based Organization."
Now its totally clear about the doubts that cloud the truth between the two. A boulivard is in between the two that divides both the purpose, interest and cause. MYC (which is believed to be founded by Amir Ahmed Iman) has been strongly linked to Al-shabaab and is belived to be the key recruiter of Al- Shabaab fighters in Kenya. PRMC also came to light when a UN report allegedly claimed that the committee received money at a certain fundraising for the mosque and redirected the money to fund Al - Shabaab activities in the region. The committee kindly asksw the nation not to be mislead by the propagandas who are just fomulating stories to sell their newspapers.Any questions or doubts surrounding the two groups is now offically settled right here at MTAANI.COM
