President William Ruto has offered a special prayer to KDF troops deployed for peacekeeping in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
In his prayer on Wednesday, November 2, the Head of State asked God to protect the soldiers in their line of duty.
"Before you are men and women from the KDF. They are on a mission to protect humanity, our brothers and sisters in the DRC. We pray for them heavenly father, as they go to execute this mandate, may you go ahead of them. Protect these men and women. Give wisdom to their commanders," the President prayed.
He further prayed for favour for the soldiers as they prepared to work with other foreign soldiers in restoring peace in the Eastern DR Congo.

Speaking during the flagging off of the soldiers at Embakasi Garrison, Nairobi, the Head of State said that Kenya will always answer the call to promote peace and security in East Africa.
“This deployment is significant and urgent as it responds to the collective aspirations of a sustainable peace in our region. We owe our brotherly duty to DRC until the job is done,” the president said.
He added that Kenya’s participation in the East African Community Regional Force (EACRF) continues a proud legacy of peacekeeping by the Kenya Defence Forces.
KDF will be under the guidance of the EACRF during the mission in Eastern DR Congo.
