As the political situation in Kenya continues to be tense, the country’s president, William Ruto has warned protesters, particularly persons involved in criminal activity during Monday’s protests,
President William Ruto made the warning during a visit to Germany.
Ruto said when asked about the violent acts at Kenyatta’s property, “my position as president is that the property, the life of everybody, Kenyans, and foreigners will be protected by the government of Kenya.”
“All those involved in criminal activity, whoever they are, whatever their status is, will be brought to book.”
Last week, some notable members of the opposition, including senior lawmakers, and veteran opposition leader, Raila Odinga were on Monday arrested as protesters march against President William Ruto and the high cost of living.
During a second week of protests against the government and high food prices in the western city of Kisumu on Monday, police fired teargas and water cannons at stone-throwing supporters of Raila Odinga.
According to Kenyan media, unidentified people vandalized two properties on Monday, one belonging to Odinga’s family and the other owned by former president Uhuru Kenyatta, who supported Odinga last year.
