This year's theme of the Prayer breakfast is 'Hope'.

The date of today's event was announced a month ago by the Speaker of the National Assembly Moses Wetangula.

The Prayer Breakfast and denominational meeting is organised by Members of Parliament and includes various leaders from across the country and beyond," Wetang'ula said, while confirming this year's date.

Today, it will be interesting to hear what President Ruto says, amid high taxes overburdening Kenyans.

Former Vice-President Kalonzo Musyoka became the first chairperson of the event in 2002 as the then Foreign Minister, which aimed to bring leaders together under the banner of faith and reconciliation.
