Azimio added that the event is likely to have displays of arrogance and superiority battles mainly orchestrated by leaders from the Kenya Kwanza government.
“If past events where we have shared platforms with Kenya Kwanza are to serve as a guide, Azimio is convinced that the National Prayer Breakfast does not offer the environment the country needs for humility before God, honesty with citizens and respect between leaders.
The coalition however announced that its members of parliament are free to attend the function.
