The day-long prayers at Nyayo stadium will be held between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm.

First lady Rachel Ruto is scheduled to lead Kenya in national prayers at Nyayo National Stadium on Tuesday, February 14.

Dubbed the National Solemn Assembly, the event is expected to be graced by clerics and Kenyans from various religious denominations.

The National Altar which is a creation of the first lady in the State House announced the prayers would be held between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm.

To be addressed in the prayers would be the issues bedeviling Kenyans including prolonged drought, biting hunger, and the soaring cost of living among others.

This event would be taking place on the day lovers the world over will be marking Valentine's Day.

Valentine's is marked on the 14th day of February every year.

The first assignment of the 'divine' wing of the State House led by the first lady would be to hold the interdenominational prayers held in Nakuru on Sunday, February 12.

In attendance were President William Ruto, his deputy Rigathi Gachagua, Nakuru governor Susan Kihika, Cabinet Secretaries, and other high-profile state officials and politicians.

Since taking over power, Ruto has incorporated prayers into his mode of operation.

In the first few into his presidency, Ruto and the first lady held prayers in the State House, a move believed to have broken the existing protocol.
