Photo filed:  Mteuleonline24  If the number of votes that President-elect William Ruto got in the Rongai constituency against his rival Raila Odinga is any barometer to predict the outcome of Monday’s repeat parliamentary elections, then Raymond Moi's political goose is cooked.

Then, because the devil is a manner less repeat performer (as long as the door is open and watchmen are asleep), Herod arrested Peter. He had every intention of killing him too because politically, he saw that it made the Jews happy. This time though, the church prayed! They seriously petitioned God UNTIL the day Peter walked out of prison. Acts 12:5 So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was fervently praying ...
