Kenya bows its head today.
Raila Amolo Odinga was more than a politician. He was a chapter in our nation’s fight for freedom.
Through detention, persecution, and betrayal, he never lost faith in Kenya’s promise. He carried the burden of our democracy on his back and paid the price for believing that this country could be just and fair.
We may not have always agreed with his choices, but we cannot deny his sacrifice. His voice shook systems. His resilience moved mountains.
History will remember him as a man who walked where others feared to stand.
My deepest condolences to Mama Ida, the Odinga family, and the millions of Kenyans whose hope was once kindled by his courage.
Let us carry forward the unfinished dream of a Kenya where truth is not treason and justice is not a privilege.
Rest in eternal peace Baba.
Senator Okiya Omtatah Okoiti
Heavenly Father,
I come before You with an open heart, seeking Your wisdom and direction. In moments of uncertainty, guide my steps and align my thoughts with Your will. Help me to trust in Your timing and lean not on my own understanding.
Grant me clarity when I am confused, strength when I feel weak and peace when I am anxious. Lead me down the path You have set for me and help me recognize the opportunities You place in my life.
Thank You for Your constant love and presence. I place my hopes, decisions and future in Your hands.
In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
Today’s bible verse — Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV): Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.
Happy sabbath 🙏🏾
This year has not been easy for many families. The killing, maiming and abduction of young Kenyans has put to serious test our institutions. I condemn the killing, torture and the abductions and call for the immediate release of the youth still held unlawfully. #EndAbductionsKE
