In the third week, leaders urge attention to prevent further election-related violence and emphasize human life’s sacred value during this time. The fourth week addresses AI advancements and digital platforms, urging stakeholders to create safe environments that uplift human dignity. Finally, the last week calls for compassion towards environmental destruction, highlighting its impact on communities affected by natural disasters. Throughout the campaign, Bishop Kamomoe stressed the need for individual conversion as a prerequisite for national transformation in Kenya.
