In a powerful call for unity following the turbulent events of this year, Kimani Ichung’wah, the Majority Leader in the National Assembly, has proposed special prayers to sanctify Parliament and cleanse it of negativity.
Addressing congregants in Muhoroni, Ichung’wah stressed the urgent need for spiritual rejuvenation after a shocking invasion that led to violence in June.
“I will speak to Speaker Moses Wetang’ula to discuss how we can collaborate with religious leaders to sanctify the house,” Ichung’wah declared, reflecting on the dire need to prevent similar incidents in the future.
“We pray that such incidents may never happen again in the history of our country,” he added solemnly.
His comments come amidst rising concerns over national healing and unity, with several church leaders reaching out for collaborative prayers.
However, Ichung’wah also criticized the political involvement of some church leaders during the Gen Z-led anti-tax bill protests earlier this year, lamenting their departure from spiritual guidance.
“Many of our church leaders abandoned their duty to guide us in a godly manner,” he stated, urging a return to spiritual responsibilities. He further implored parents to take a more active role in shaping their children’s behavior, reflecting on the chaos exhibited by youth during the protests.
“Parents must set good examples for our children. The words used against leaders and parents were simply unimaginable for those of us who grew up in earlier generations,” Ichung’wah concluded, calling for collective action to restore moral integrity in society.
