President Uhuru Kenyatta led the nation to a National Prayer Meeting which was held at Safari Park Hotel
Legislatures from all the political divide attended the meeting. The special guest for the National Prayer Meeting being H.E President Salva Kiir Mayardit of the Republic of South Sudan, and Deputy President Dr William Ruto.
But his brother Hon Raila Odinga did not attend the National Prayer Breakfast. It is quite unsual for the former Premier to miss such an event as it reflects on the key principles enshrined in the handshake.
