” 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.
