A DAILY PRAYER UNTIL ELECTIONS IN KENYA..

Fellow Kenyans:The prayer below is published in the "Sunday Nation" issue 20/05/2012

...Allow me then to suggest a prayer that we can all say faithfully as we prepare for the elections: God our creator! Give us a leader who has never stolen from the public directly or indirectly.

We yearn for a leader whose hands have no stain of the blood of any fellow Kenyan. Give us a leader who truly respects the rule of law so that justice can be our shield and defender.

Let your will direct our choice of leader but not our perception of power and riches. Amen.
