Saturday’s day of prayer, said the President, who is Catholic, “will be guided by a team of religious leaders in the presidential residence starting at noon.”

Uhuru Kenyatta encouraged Kenyans to join in national prayer wherever they are and urged the local channels of communication to transmit the event, giving everyone the opportunity to participate from home.
