President William Ruto over the weekend asked Kenyans to fill up the Nyayo Stadium in Nairobi for the national prayers, a request that fell on deaf ears if today’s meeting attendance is anything to go by.
The 45,000-capacity stadium is empty with a tiny gathering of Kenya Kwanza supporters mobilized to attend the meeting. A source reveals the government splashed 50M shillings to facilitate the prayer meeting.
First Lady Rachel Ruto and Second Lady Pastor Dorcas Gachagua, are among high-ranking government officials who have arrived at Nyayo Stadium for National Prayer Day.
President William Ruto and his deputy Rigathi Gachagua are also due to attend the prayers which aim to address the country’s drought and hunger situation.
Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja and Attorney General Justin Muturi are also among the other leaders in attendance.
