Africa-Press – Kenya. National Assembly Majority leader Kimani Ichung’wah has revealed that he prays for the opposition co-principals daily. Speaking in Parliament during Tuesday’s National Assembly proceedings, Ichung’wah said he will continue praying for the opposition leaders.
“I want to encourage Kenyans to pray for each other just like every day I pray for the former Prime Minister (Raila Odinga) and my good friend Kalonzo Musyoka. Every day I do,” he said.
He invited the two to the National Prayer Breakfast on June 7, adding that in the case they decide not to attend they will still be featured in the prayers.
He also said he prays for President William Ruto, his deputy Rigathi Gachagua and all other elected leaders. Ichung’wah expressed hope that the prayer will help reconcile Kenyans and soften the hearts of political leaders.
“That those who continue to incite Kenyans, to misinform and disinform Kenyans even in the question of Finance Bill, will now reconcile themselves with their conscience and come and debate the issues touching on the Bill on the floor of this House,” he said. His statement comes shortly after the Azimio leadership announced that it will skip the meeting at the Safari Park Hotel citing a lack of honesty.
“If past events where we have shared platforms with Kenya Kwanza are to serve as a guide, Azimio is convinced that the National Prayer Breakfast does not offer the environment the country needs for humility before God, honesty with citizens and respect between leaders,” the statement reads.
“Instead, the event will dishonour God and country with displays of arrogance, superiority battles, false hopes to citizens and vitriolic posts even mischaracterisation and misinterpretation of intentions by well-known Kenya Kwanza leaders. We are therefore declining the invitation to the breakfast.”
