Mosiria urges Ruto to conduct national prayer day at Uhuru Park
By David Nthua, November 30, 2025The Citizens Engagement and Customer Care department boss in Nairobi County, Geoffrey Mosiria, has once again released an opinion that left Kenyans talking.
In a lengthy and reflective post on Facebook on Sunday, November 30, 2025, Mosiria did wonder how things would look if President William Ruto organised a National Day of Prayer and Unity at Uhuru Park.

Mosiria said the idea struck him while in church, noting that the political temperatures witnessed during the recent by-elections revealed deep national divisions that cannot be solved through politics alone.

According to him, the moment required something that goes beyond political competition.
“Today while in church, a thought crossed my mind about the direction of our country. With the recent by election behind us and political temperatures witnessed which to me appeared like a litmus paper, I wondered what if Kenya tried something different,” Mosiria wrote on Facebook.

He went on to propose that President Ruto “as the father of the nation” should call for a unifying event bringing all Kenyans together regardless of tribe, political party or social standing.
Mosiria recalled how in the past, moments of unity at Uhuru Park created a rare sense of peace.
He pointed out that when former President Uhuru Kenyatta, then Deputy President William Ruto and the late Raila Odinga once stood together on the same podium, Kenyans felt reassured and connected.
“For a moment, our political differences looked smaller than our shared identity as one nation.”Leaders urged to stand together,” Mosiria said.
The Nairobi County official said unity among leaders often mirrors unity among citizens.
Mosiria encouraged leaders to behave like members of one football team, each with different roles but wearing the same jersey and working toward one national goal.
He painted a picture of a healthier political environment where opposition checks government with facts and government responds with openness and delivery.
According to him, such political maturity would lower public tension and improve service delivery across the country.
Mosiria added that Kenya needs dialogue rooted in truth and respect, not hostility and division.

Mosiria urged both government and opposition to put Kenya first, arguing that unity would rebuild public trust and calm political temperatures.
He stated that “maybe it is time leaders embraced one another publicly and reminded the country that we are one people with one destiny.”
He argued that healing does not always begin with complex policies but often with simple acts of togetherness.
He concluded by inviting public opinion, writing that “sometimes, healing a nation starts with a simple gesture standing together praying together and choosing Kenya above everything else.”
