President William Ruto slammed Raila Odinga’s anti-government protests scheduled for Mondays and Thursdays on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, the Azimio leader declared that demonstrations would begin next week on Mondays and Thursdays, and that they would continue until President William Ruto heeded to their demands.
In a brief remark on Wednesday, the Head of State expressed confidence that the aforementioned days will soon become the days with the most trades on the Nairobi Stock Exchange.
“I am looking forward to days in the near future when we will be reporting every Monday and every Thursday to be the days that were traded highest in the Nairobi Stock Exchange,” he said.
Ruto also vowed to deal with individuals attempting to stymie the nation’s economic progress while officiating the listing of Laptrust Reit on the Nairobi Securities Exchange.
President Ruto reaffirmed his commitment to bolstering the nation’s economic muscle, a vision he will zealously pursue.
He stated unequivocally that the government will take strong measures to ensure that no individual holds the economy hostage by instilling “impunity, lawlessness, and disorder.”
“There is no reason whatsoever for anyone to stand in the way of free enterprise, disrupt business or sabotage economic activity for personal interest,” he said.
“Such impunity must be dealt with firmly and full accountability enforced to vindicate Kenya’s commitments as a free market economy.”
