The Parliament of Kenya is scheduled to host the 18th Edition of the National Annual Prayer Breakfast this week on Thursday, 27th May, 2021 at the Senate Grounds in Parliament. President Uhuru Kenyatta, is expected to grace the occasion which will be hosted by the two Speakers of Parliament.

The annual event which is traditionally held on the last Thursday of May, resumes after a brief hiatus last year due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. This year’s prayers will be held both virtually and physically with only a small group of about 100 attendees invited to physically be at the event. 

Unlike in the past, where a lot of activity is normally scheduled for the event’s program, this year the ceremony will only run for two hours from 8am. It will however be streamed live on Parliament’s YouTube channel and Facebook page as well as in local television stations.

The National Prayer Breakfast is an annual ecumenical event offered under the auspices of the Speakers of the National Assembly and the speaker of the Senate; and organized by a group of dedicated volunteers which make up the National Prayer Breakfast Organizing Committee.

The purpose of the National Prayer Breakfast is to meet, engage, interact and together pray for the nation in the company of fellow leaders from all sectors of society.
