The prayer breakfast was tagged something like, ‘Dawn of Kenya’ or ‘Rebirth of a New Nation’. The title was as ambiguous as those of ‘important’ Kenyan autobiographies: written to sound deep, but are really designed to mean nothing. Something like: ‘Awkward Morning Of Prayer To Say What You Do Not Mean, And Mean What You Do Not Say.’Speaking of speaking, the Deputy President’s speech ended up being the event’s ‘main attraction’. While the DP has reminded the nation of his poverty stricken history many times before, this time he took it a notch higher. So Ruto bringing up his newfound ability to handsomely thank God for delivering him from poverty only raises serious questions.
