Thirdway Alliance party leader Ekuru Aukot has condemned the violence witnessed on Tuesday during the anti-Finance Bill protests across the country.
Nairobi —
Aukot expressed outrage over Ruto's lack of empathy towards the victims of police brutality."We, the Thirdway Alliance Kenya team, are angered and disturbed by the unfortunate reckless contents of the one-minute insensitive press statement by President William Ruto, which he delivered a few minutes past 9:00 pm yesterday," said Aukot.
"We shall provide a full and expeditious response to the treasonous events," Ruto stated, assuring the nation of the government's determination to secure the country. He also issued a stern warning:"I hereby put on notice the financiers of violence and anarchy." The protests, which began last week, reached a climax on Tuesday when demonstrators stormed Parliament following the bill's passage. The violent scenes resulted in several deaths and injuries, prompting widespread condemnation and calls for restraint from both local and international leaders.There was a problem processing your submission.
