Former Machakos Senator Johnstone Muthama has called for a national prayer to bring back President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto, who he claims have divided politics in Kenya.
Speaking in Matungulu, Machakos County on July 17, Muthama said the relationship between Uhuru and Ruto had been damaged by Raila and Kalonzo.
"Matamshi ya Uhuru na Ruto hukinzana mara kwa mara. Wakati Raila anapowatubumia watu jukwaani matamshi yake yanaungwa mkono na Kalonzo. Ni wakati sasa wa kuomba kwa kuwa nchi inaelekea pabaya," he said.
Muthama accused the leaders of doing politics for their personal gain by pushing for constitutional changes.
He warned Kenyans against being involved in the proposed changes, saying it was a ploy by politicians to deal with their personal challenges.
"Ukiwasikia wanasiasa kutoka Bonde la Ufa wakimtetea Ruto, ni bayana kwamba semi zao haziungi mkono umoja. Semi zetu zinakinzana na huenda hilo likaleta vurugu nchini. Tunahitaji maombi," Muthama added.
