08/02/2017 Kenya (New Times) – Kenyans have intensified prayers for their country as the tightly contested August 8 general election draws closer.

Citizens across the East African nation are seeking divine intervention in the election as they pray on the streets, in churches, in public rallies and in their houses.

On Monday, hundreds of Christians who turned up for ‘morning devotion’ in churches spread in the country before heading to their places of work had one mission – to pray for peace.

Similar prayers were heard in various churches in the capital’s central business district early Monday morning.
