Kenyans have expressed their frustrations after the wife of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Pastor Dorcas Gachagua gathered pastors from different denominations to pray for an end of the current doctors’ strike.
According to Dorcas, the pastors have the power to change the outcome of the current stand off between doctors and the government by praying for a solution between the two parties.
“We (pastors) have the power and authority to change the atmosphere. We pray for an amicable solution. We pray for the strike to end soon. We pray for dialogue.”

However, the call has not sat well with a section of kenyans who have expressed their dissatisfaction over the same through their social media platforms, calling out the pastor for the same.
“Prayer without action is dead. Advise your husband to set up a dialogue with doctors’ to end the strike. We can’t call God for things we have power to solve ourselves,” one social media user lamented.
This comes just weeks after the wife of President William Ruto, Rachel Ruto called for pastors to pray for police officers who will be deployed to Haiti after the establishment of the transitional government.
“We had pastors from Haiti and America in a meeting and we are seeing how these three countries can come together to pray before deployment of our police officers because we believe that with prayer everything is possible.”
