Raila, Azimio Leaders To Skip National Prayer Breakfast

Azimio party has stated that none of its principles will be attending the National Prayer Breakfast scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday, June 6 despite receiving an invitation.

In a statement on Tuesday, Azimio said the event offers anything “but the environment for humility before God, honesty to citizens and respect between leaders”.

“If past events where we have shared platforms with Kenya Kwanza are to serve as a guide, Azimio is convinced that the National Prayer Breakfast does not offer the environment the country needs,” the party said in its statement.

“Instead, the event will dishonor God and country with a display of arrogance, superiority battles, false hopes to citizens and vitriolic post-event mischaracterization and misinterpretation of intentions by well-known Kenya Kwanza leaders. We have therefore declined the invitation to the breakfast.”

However, Azimio members of parliament have been given the liberty to choose whether or not to attend the function.
