“Wakati tulikua na kiangazi tulienda tukaomba Mungu akatupatia mvua, tumeona shlingi yetu ikipata nguvu, shilingi ilikua imeenda mpaka 130 ilikua inaelekea mpaka 165, siku moja ikarudi mpak ikafika 145, siku ingine ikafika 135, 130 na bado inarudi nyuma. Niwaulize kama si Mungu huyo ni nani?” she posed.
Furthermore, the First Lady called upon religious leaders to continue praying for Kenya, emphasizing the need for ongoing prayers to maintain economic stability, peace, and unity. Her remarks underscored the belief in the power of prayer to guide and strengthen the nation.
“Yesterday I was telling some people that I have had the opportunity to travel to other countries in the world and other African countries. When we have meetings, there are usually no prayers conducted. Let us never take it for granted that in a state function, we can have prayers. You may take it for granted but it is not usual,” she added.
