Kenya: Blasts at Christian prayer rally

Written by Super User 19 Jun 2010

Church leaders in Kenya are holding the government responsible for two explosions at a constitution prayer rally in Nairobi where seven people died and nearly 100 were injured on 13 June. The church leaders have been campaigning for a ‘No’ vote against a proposed draft constitution and condemned the attack as an affront to the Christian faith. They sent their condolences to the families of those who had died. ‘Having been informed over and over that the passage of the new constitution is a government project, we are left with no doubt the the government, either directly or indirectly, had a hand in this attack. Who else in this country holds explosives?’ said the Rev. Peter Karanja, general secretary of the National Council of Churches of Kenya. ‘We therefore hold the government and the ‘Yes’ team responsible for the attack and the blood that was shed.’ said Karanja.

Pray: against the enemy that seeks to de-stabilise and for the Christians to stand firm and not be intimidated. (Pr.18:17)
