“It is the initiative of every parent to monitor their children the same way as they received the perfect care from their parents when they were growing up”
The pastor through his caravan that traversed Kiamwangi trading centre reiterated that the office of the president of Gatundu North “insists that children stay at home so as to honour the directive of the president and ministry of health by prayer.
Wearing masks, observing social distance, sanitizing and hand washing is a necessity that must be observed by all both children and adults, reiterate the pastor who attracted the crowd by his unique speech.
While mounting speakers on a stationary motor vehicle, the pastor first prays for the nation, then goes ahead and removes his mask so that his message can be absorbed by those who move nearer to him in the middle tradition centre.
“Hearing the voice of the anointed one we shall have peace as the hand of the lord is upon him” the pastor said while urging Kenyans should be ready to fight corona as it is real. I have dedicated myself to enlighten Kenyans and the world at large that there is hope again if we observe the measures” pleaded the pastor.
