"This country (Kenya) needs prayers. Prayers may not always change God but they can change us." Fr. Gabriel Dolan, SPS Catholic priest Mombasa
Yesterday was a public holiday to honor those brave women and men who have lived, and sometimes died, for Kenya...Mashujaa or Heros/Heroines. The CEO of the IEBC, Chiloba, is taking a three week leave. His resignation was demanded by the opposition. The President repeated that the elections will be held on the 26th and said his administration would not tolerate any interference.
The opposition says they will "promise a way forward" to his supporters on the 25th. Raila stated, "I can assure you we will conclude this matter in an amicable way." He also told his supporters not to attack innocent people, especially Kikuyus (the tribe of the president).
People are going home and making plans to lay low this coming week. No one knows what will happen. We have prepared for trouble but are hoping for something better.
