Archbishop Kitonga throws jabs at Raila Odinga during Labour Day prayer as he urges him to retire peacefully and stop Maandamano.
During Labor Day prayers, Redeemed Gospel Church Archbishop Arthur Kitonga called on Kenyan Azimio La Umoja-One leader Raila Odinga to stop his protests and retire peacefully.
Addressing Raila during a prayer session on Monday at Labour Day celebrations at Uhuru Gardens, which was attended by President William Ruto and Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, he said the opposition leader should step away from active politics.
“We pray for Honourable Raila to retire peacefully, the time you have now is to enjoy your retirement,” adding that the country had no bandwidth for conflict.
“He (Raila) should drop this issue of going to the streets. He should rest. God has given President Ruto the job of leading the nation, we do not want disputes,” he prayed.
Archbishop Kitonga also praised Ruto during his prayer session.

He said the President had already transformed the country in a few months and would do more if given ten years.
“What President Ruto has done in seven months, if given five or ten years, he will transform this country to look like Jerusalem,” he said in the prayer.
On the same note, Central Organisation of Trade Union (COTU) secretary general Francis Atwoli also told Azimio leader Raila Odinga that his new wave of streets protests will not yield his desired wishes.
He added that Raila will not succeed in ejecting President William Ruto from office using demonstrations.
“Getting Ruto out of office is a dream. Let us not dwell with an impossibility that will not help the country,” he stated.
