Popular Tanzanian gospel singer Christina Shusho has been forced to apologize to Kenyans following social media outcry over her “partial prayers” on President Uhuru Kenyatta.
In a Facebook post, Shusho had offered special prayers for President Uhuru Kenyatta ahead of the repeat presidential election and left out National Super Alliance (NASA) Raila Odinga, which angered a section of Kenyans online.
“On our second prayer day, I dedicate Kenya before you, God. Dear God I pray you fill Kenya’s Commander In Chief Uhuru Kenyatta with courage and strength. I pray that God gives you (Uhuru) wisdom to guide Kenyans effectively,” prayed Shusho. “Dear God, if there are any sins committed against you by Kenya’s elders, forgive them. Grant wisdom to your servant Uhuru Kenyatta. Dear God, please answer his prayers, when he reaches out to you. Stand by him; give him the much-needed wisdom to lead Kenya. When he calls upon you, listen to him God, don’t turn your back on him. I fully understand that Kenya’s redeemer lives. Amen.”
A group of Kenyans slammed the musician online and accused her of being 'bias' in her prayer.
The outcry forced her to dedicate a prayer for the former Prime Minister minutes later.
“Dear God, we are praying for Hon. Raila Odinga. For Kenya’s sake, remember him. Grant him grace, both big and small. Grant him his heart’s desires and grant him wisdom for Kenya’s sake. I pray peace prevails even as you consider Raila Odinga. Dear God, use your servant Hon. Raila Odinga as a vessel to preach peace and prosperity. You are a fair God, a peace-loving God, please hear our prayers. Amen,” Shusho prayed.
However, her efforts to salvage the situation did not repair the damage. More Kenyans online continued to express their displeasure with her action, which forced her to issue a public apology. “It was not my intention to hurt you guys. I am sorry. Nimalize kwa kusema nina wapenda, na nitaendelea kuwaombea.”
The singer later pulled down the prayers made to both Uhuru and Raila and the apology.

I don't think we are genuine when we we say one prayed like this and was wrong and the other prayed this way and was right
To be Sincere: CHRISTINA Shusho May NOT Have Prayed PERFECTLY like Some of Us Would Have Wanted or Expected her to. But: Let's Take a BREATH for Some Biblical GUIDANCE (lest we be Too Harsh and Judgemental of her). JAMES 2:1-4 says:"1. First of all, then, I urge that Supplications, PRAYERS, Intercessions, and Thanksgivings be made for all people, 2. for KINGS and all who are in HIGH POSITIONS, that we may lead a Peaceful and Quiet Life, Godly and Dignified in every way. 3. This is good, and it is pleasing in the Sight of God our Savior, 4. Who Desires all people to be SAVED and to come to the Knowledge of the TRUTH." Amen!!!
@ Guest1 "You're a demon who believes in God" James 2:19
Ano. JAMES 2:19 says:"You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder!" So FYI: I Myself Believe that GOD is ONE; and Do WELL (stand FIRM/Strong). But (I can tell by your INSECURE response to JAMES 2:1-4), you ANONYMOUS Do SHUDDER/Tremble at Him (God) because you are a Demon or Full of Demons that TREMBLE when You See/Hear the Word of God. I don't Tremble; I get EXCITED. Amen!!!
I fear not for God is my Father, I have no reason to fear my Father. Wewe babako ni Raila. A violent angry, hateful father. Who rejoices in violence, death and turmoil. God my Father has no place for people like him nor his children like you.
do you even know a centimeter about Raila if your father were God for real you wouldn't be judging us...thank God you are sure of heaven
Kenyans we can be petty sometimes.......
That's what I call prayer socialism!! If I was her I would have just told them to take a knee and pray for their supreme leader. Clearly she likes Uhuru. Don't see the problem with that, except a temporary loss of a small market.
What is God's you tell to God ( like the first unsolicited prayer she made) and what is god's you tell it to its worshipers(like the make up prayer she scrambled for Rao). The negative energy used in castigating the lady was enough to make their own prayers for whomever they so wished. These fellas wants to control even matters of heart? Why hijack her prayers?That is the worst bankruptcy after mortgaging their soul to one man's nightmares.
There are other contestants too in this race. How come the prayers go only to two?
Maxiley. Have you ever Heard of a Saying that: Why Persue Worms in the Mushrooms? So in this case, just eat the Mushrooms; because you won't eat them if you keep checking to See if they have Worms.
Prayers are to be targeted and specific. Not like a wedding cake to go round kidogo kidogo! Cheers
OneDay@times. How do you know that her Prayer was "unsolicited"? There is a High Possibility that someone REQUESTED (solicited) her to Pray.
The bottom line is, she can pray for whomever she wishes. Period. Just like "we" have been vocal in supporting and condemning those we choose. People are just scapegoating her to project their frustration.
@Guest1, you have many faces, amazing how you can switch from 0 to 100! Be biblical and abusive in equal measures. Charming!
since the (the love of money than the love of innocent Kenyans who die and suffer because the poor leadership in the country, you ran to support that, we have nothing to do neither say about you but let the will of God be done,
I think she is a 🐺 I think baba should stop us from buying her CDS.
That's just a prayer, anyone can do it. so some stupid Kenyans should stop acting like idiots, if shusho prayed her prayer, why dont you pray yours ... nkt
biq up shusho, love you so much
good prayer shusho BT remember that God forgives even those who do long Amen
The sore loser won't rule this country

we need to pray for Christina Shusho for her to see the reality of the truth of the matter.
Christina was paid for her service of prayer and might have been given direction of her prayers, you have mocked us half population of Kenyans, God is watching u and if you were guided by the holy spirit let it be for the sake of his sorrowful passion have mercy on us and the whole world. susho just make money God is watching you
Let her pray for whoever she wants I can pray for baba as well and we need not that second prayer no wonder anatumia vipodozi mini nkt
Confused foreignor.You were just like the Rwandan president Kagame who rushed to congratulate UK on winning the elections only for Maraga to cut UK down to size.We do not need your prayers we will get to Canaan without them.Ombea huyo wenyu nasikia amegeuka kuwa real dictator.
