"We are most grateful to the Most High God for what He has done; it is indeed marvellous in our eyes. As a people, we choose to be counted with the one ‘leper’ who came back to Jesus to say thank you. (Luke 17:15) We are grateful to God!"

Mama Rachel further urged the elected leaders to go back to the grassroots and serve the people of Kenya.
