Uhuru, Ruto, CJ Koome in attendance at National Prayer Breakfast

President Uhuru Kenyatta is at the Parliament buildings for the national prayer breakfast meeting.

He was received some minutes past 8 am by Deputy President William Ruto and host speakers Justin Muturi of the National Assembly and Senate’s Kenneth Lusaka.

Newly sworn-in Chief Justice Martha Koome is also present at the event.

President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy Thursday met face-to-face with his deputy after months of avoiding each other.

The two greeted each other on the elbow as they smiled at each other with their masks on.

Uhuru and Ruto have only met twice face to face this year – on February 15 during the burial of former Cabinet minister Simeon Nyachae in Kisii and February 25 during a Cabinet meeting at State House, Nairobi.

The president is expected to lead Kenyans in the prayers under the theme: “A Hopeful Future.”

Participants observed a minute of silence for departed lawmaker Paul Koinange who was the Chairman of the national prayer breakfast.

Other leaders present include Amani leader Musalia Mudavadi and Wiper's Kalonzo Musyoka and Chief Registrar of the Judiciary Anne Amadi.
