During the National Prayer Breakfast held on May 28, 2025, at Safari Park Hotel, Dagoretti North MP Beatrice Elachi delivered a poignant prayer that has since resonated across the country. Her remarks addressed the prevailing sense of despair among Kenyan youth and the growing influence of social media in shaping public discourse and political sentiment.
In a solemn plea to national leaders, Elachi acknowledged the spiritual and moral challenges facing the nation, emphasizing the role of policymakers in rebuilding Kenya’s ethical foundations. Her words were not only a prayer for divine intervention but also a direct appeal to those in power to reflect on their responsibilities.
MP Elachi expressed grave concern over what she termed as a generation of hopeless youth. She attributed this to systemic failures in leadership and the normalization of destructive behaviors such as gambling and exposure to harmful online content.
According to her prayer, the pervasive and often unregulated influence of social media platforms has undermined national values and unity. Elachi called upon Parliament to enact robust legislation that will not only protect vulnerable demographics but also reinforce moral integrity in public and private life.
Her message was clear: Kenya must reclaim its direction, and that requires intentional, value-based leadership.
In a particularly bold moment, Elachi directly prayed for President William Ruto, urging him to ensure that Kenya’s national resources are utilized responsibly and not wasted. She implied that prayer alone was insufficient without matching it with integrity and effective governance.
Her remarks, made in the presence of political, religious, and business leaders, sent a powerful message—that accountability and prayer must go hand in hand.
Following the prayer, reactions on social media platforms were immediate and polarized. Some Kenyans supported Elachi's remarks as a courageous stand for moral leadership. Others, however, criticized what they perceived as misplaced priorities and reliance on prayer in place of tangible policy reform.
Some Of The Public Reactions:
-@LilithBlack25: “That Beatrice Elachi prayer about social media is exactly how African leaders think they can pray their way out of poverty rather than take accountability and fix their systems.”
-@Serakenya: “MP Beatrice Elachi: Our youth are hopeless and we pray that the spirit of social media running our country is sorted out. May we stand for what is best for our country and future generations.”
-@Alvin32: “MP Beatrice Elachi shocks Ruto as she prays for him to spend Kenya’s resources well and not waste them, then later cry ‘hakuna pesa!’”
-@Kenyans: “Father, we pray for this social media that has decided to run our country - Beatrice Elachi leads prayer during the National Prayer Breakfast.”
Despite the controversy, many acknowledged the prayer as reflective of wider frustrations with governance and national direction. The comments also highlighted a cultural rift about the role of religion in politics and the expectations placed on national leaders.
Beatrice Elachi’s prayer underscored not only a spiritual concern but a societal one. It was a reminder that national transformation requires more than hope—it requires ethical courage, policy integrity, and community engagement. Her remarks challenge both leaders and citizens to consider the values guiding their actions and the future they envision for the country.
As Kenya navigates the complexities of digital influence, economic strain, and generational transitions, the conversation sparked by Elachi’s prayer will likely persist. It was not merely a prayer—it was a national moment of reflection.
