First Lady Rachel Ruto has received support over his plans to form a committee to pray for 1,000 kenyan police officers set to be deployed to Haiti.
Foreign Affairs PS Korir Sing’oei has defended the first lady indicating that faith can also pray a big role in quelling the violence in Haiti.
Korir responded to journalist Larry Madowo had raised questions on the mission.
“We shouldn’t be too quick to discount the role of faith communities in addressing difficult social challenges ndugu Larry Madowo,” he stated.
Rachel Ruto announced plans to establish a prayer committee for Kenyan police officers slated for deployment on the UN Security Council-backed mission to troubled Haiti.
Speaking at the Weston Hotel in Nairobi on Friday, during the listening party of the ‘Fourth Man’ EP by 1005 Songs & More Gospel music group, Rachel noted that she had held discussions with members of the clergy in regards to Kenya’s impending deployment of troops to the Caribbean nation.
According to the First Lady, spiritual intervention is essential in ensuring the safety and well-being of the Kenyan officers and the people of Haiti.
“I have been held up in a meeting with some clergy friends of mine for two days discussing the issues of Haiti because we felt as the national alter that we cannot allow our police to go to Haiti without prayer So they have been strategising on a spiritual solution for our police and people of Haiti,” she said.
“We had pastors from Haiti and America and we are seeing how these three countries can come together to pray because we believe that with prayer everything is possible.”
