Geoffrey Mosiria Urges President Ruto to Organize a National Prayer Day to Foster Unity and Heal Political Divisions Across Kenya

Nairobi County Citizen Engagement and Customer Service Chief Officer Geoffrey Mosiria has called on President William Ruto to organize a National Day of Prayer and Unity. The call follows a tense by-election. Mosiria said the mini poll showed deep political divisions. He believes Kenya needs a moment of reflection beyond party politics.

Mosiria shared his views on Facebook on Sunday, November 30. He described the election as a litmus test ahead of the 2027 General Election. He proposed that leaders from all parties, churches, and communities come together. He added that opposition leaders and all Kenyans should attend. Unity matters more than rivalry, he said.

He recalled a similar event by former President Uhuru Kenyatta. At Uhuru Park, leaders including Ruto, the late Raila Odinga and opposition figures shared the same stage. Mosiria said that gathering brought rare calm. “When leaders stand together, the nation feels peace. Differences look smaller than our shared identity,” he said.

Mosiria stressed that unity among leaders strengthens the nation. He imagined a Kenya where debates focus on ideas, not personal attacks. Leaders would act like teammates. Different roles, same goal, one nation. He urged politicians to prioritize facts, solutions, and transparency over insults.

He highlighted that putting Kenya first benefits citizens. Peaceful politics improves service delivery and reduces tension. It also builds public trust in leadership. “If both sides prioritize the nation, citizens will feel leaders care more about progress than political points,” Mosiria said.

Mosiria’s call comes as political temperatures rise ahead of 2027. He said a National Prayer Day could reset the discourse. It could foster dialogue, unity and shared focus on the country’s goals. Leaders have a chance to put Kenya above politics.
