We urge all of us to remain in peace and cohesion in Kenya, we have been dividing ourselves along political lines which in many occasions take tribal angles and political hating temperatures. It is our humble prayer that we are not going to allow ourselves to be divided by political rhetoric’s that send us to our tribal cocoons for we cannot thrive alone as tribes or communities or families or individuals. We can only thrive when we do work together, encourage one another, fellowship and worship together and become one nation of Kenya. God Bless Kenya as we stay united and peaceful as one nation. – Sujata Kotamraju

It is our humble prayer that we are not going to allow ourselves be divided by political rhetoric’s that send us to our tribal cocoons for we cannot thrive alone as tribes or individuals or communities or families. God Bless Kenya as we stay united and peaceful as one nation. - Bishop Dr. John Warari

Restore Humanity and Shared Values "It is saddening that we are increasingly witnessing a rise in violence among Kenyans. The value of God-given life has been devalued and cheapened. There is a need to recover and promote the traditional ways of conflict resolution. We have to cultivate a culture of dialogue at all levels of society. We can and must join hands to prevent violence. God Bless Kenya as we strive to stay united and peaceful as one nation" –Rt. Rev John Oballa
