President William Ruto has given the strongest indication yet again of impending changes in his government following the rejection of the budget proposals that sparked unrest in the country.
Nairobi —
In response to the calls by the youths, Ruto said he is"soul-searching" and will act soon when asked if he had confidence in his Cabinet. Several suspects have already been charged in court with looting and arson following the destruction of property during the protests. Due to threats posed to Parliament, the Supreme Court, and other infrastructure, all national security agencies, including the military, were deployed to prevent a breakdown of law and order. The situation has since been stabilized by security agencies, who continue to monitor developments.
The Cabinet also approved several key Bills and policies to advance national development and international cooperation.
