Saturday’s service will be broadcast on all leading TV stations to allow Kenyans to be part of it. You can also follow the service on digital platforms.
This is the second national prayer being held since the outbreak of COVID-19. The President led the nation for a prayer service on May 21. Deputy President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga also attended the function.
The three leaders will also share a platform on Sunday unless Ruto skips the event as he did the COVID-19 conference on Monday last week.

A day later, Jubilee Secretary General Raphael Tuju announced declared the DP a persona non-grata at Jubilee and announced plans to strip him of his position as the Deputy Party leader.
Over the weekend, two people died at skirmishes that erupted during the DP’s visit to Kenol, in Murang’a County. We hope the clergy will pray for their souls.
