President William Ruto has stated that no one is above the law and that everyone must obey it.
In reaction to Raila Odinga’s Azimio anti-government protests, President Ruto stated that the law equalizes all Kenyans and that the government will safeguard people and their property from looters. “Let me assure you that we will take care of the matter.”
Ruto stated in Berlin, Germany, when he met Kenyans living in the nation, that it was his responsibility to defend Kenyans’ property, businesses, and hustle, as well as their lives, from any type of attack.
Ruto stated that his vow is consistent with the oath he swore to guarantee that the criminal justice system works for all Kenyans.
He stated that the decision to separate the police from the executive was made to ensure that they are free to carry out their duties.
“Today the Inspector General of Police is solely responsible for both the operations and the financial requirements of the police force and they can make independent decisions on what they want to do to secure the country,” he said.
Ruto stated that the police have a responsibility to ensure that Kenyans’ property, businesses, and lives are protected, and that no one tramples on the rights of others while exercising their rights.
