 President Uhuru Kenyatta declares Saturday, March 21st as National Prayer Day.

"We have done and continue to do everything possible to keep our citizens safe…But even with these efforts, we cannot ignore the need to turn to God. 

With this in mind, I declare this coming Saturday, 21st March 2020, as a National Day for Prayer" President Uhuru Kenyatta said.


" But fellow Kenyans even with these efforts, we cannot ignore the need to turn to God. In these circumstances as we have done in the past as a nation, we have always turned to God first to give thanks for the many blessings that He has bestowed on our nation. But we also turn to God to share our fears, our apprehensions, but also to seek his guidance and ever-present protection.
We acknowledge always that we are nothing without our God." said in a statement.


"  And we have learnt over time that turning to God in such times gives us not only comfort but also hope and strength to overcome even those challenges that for us as humans may seem insurmountable, " the statement added.


" With this in mind and after consulting a cross-section of ordinary Kenyans as well as our religious leaders, I have decided to declare this coming Saturday, 21st March 2020, as a National Day for Prayer, "


" In consideration of the protocols that we announced on Sunday and other ongoing protocols that will be announced from time to time, I have thought it necessary that this day of prayer be observed in our homes, in our places of work or wherever we shall be residing on that day, " read part of the statement.
