Mama Ngina Kenyatta lays hands on her son
Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta and Eldoret North MP William Ruto led 56 MPs at the last prayer meeting at Gatundu grounds ahead of their departure to  The Hague on Tuesday.
Addressing supporters at the meeting Monday, the two on the Ocampo list accused Prime Minister Raila Odinga of playing monkey tricks to sail to State House.
They maintained innocence exuding confidence that the International criminal court judges will clear them of any wrong doing.
They vowed to join hands with Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka and Saboti MP Eugene Wamalwa to form a formidable force that will block Raila from ascending to the Presidency.
Kalonzo claimed that the Orange Democratic Movement's pentagon was responsible for the post election violence.
Ironically, Ruto is a member of the Pentagon. Speaker after speaker blamed Raila for the Ocampo six dilemma.
The VP added that If the UN security council defies Kenyan plea for a defferal, the Africa might have to form an African International Criminal Court. 
Addressing the crowd, Mama Ngina Kenyatta, Uhuru's mother expressed confidence that the six suspects will return home.
She thanked Kenyans for standing with her son during this time. "Am sure Uhuru, Ruto and the rest will go to Hague and come back so that we can proceed with national building," said Ngina.
 She ended her rare speech by laying hands on her son and Ruto.
Others family members who attended the meeting are Uhuru Kenyatta'a wife, Margaret Wanjiru, their children, Jomo, Muhoho and Ngina. 
Others were Uhuru's sister, Christine Plat among others.
The Ocampo six will leave for The Hague Tuesday evening for their initial appearance hearing before the ICC on Thursday and Friday.
They will be accompanied by politicians supporting them and family members.
