Monday, March 25, 2024 - Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary Korir Sing'oei has come to the rescue of First Lady Rachel Ruto after she received backlash from Kenyans following her announcement that she had set up a special prayer team for the police officers that President William Ruto will be deploying to Haiti.
According to Rachel, she has a
team of intercessors from Kenya, the US, and Haiti praying for the officers
preparing for the mission.
Her revelation attracted
criticism from a section of Kenyans who argued the officers needed proper
safety gear and war equipment at the expense of prayers.
"Prayer strategy team? Just
buy bulletproof vests, might save a life," said Raptcha The Sayantist.
"It is militia in Haiti,
prayer is for the spiritual world but this is a battlefront where it can only
be met with equal but opposite force and that is military force not even
police," argued Alvin Halgo.
Coming to the rescue of the
First Lady in the face of the backlash, Sing'oei said the commitment to prayer
to Kenyan police heading to Haiti is important.
He appreciated the importance of
prayer and its contribution to solving such challenges as anarchy in Haiti.
"We shouldn't be too quick
to discount the role of faith communities in addressing difficult social
challenges," he said.
