President Ruto vows to protect everyone’s life, property, and business

Speaking in an apparent response to the ongoing anti-government protests led by Opposition leader Raila Odinga, President Ruto promised to ensure that everyone’s life, property, and business is protected.

“That is what makes us equal. Nobody should trample on the rights of others,” said the Head of State.

The remarks by the President come just a day after unprecedented destruction of property was witnessed at premises belonging to former President Uhuru Kenyatta's family and opposition leader Raila Odinga.

Goons invaded the Kenyatta family land along the Nairobi Eastern Bypass on Monday morning, cut down trees, and made away with sheep, hours after which Odinga’s gas company was attacked and a number of windows shattered.

The President was speaking on Tuesday in Berlin when he met Kenyans living in Germany.

He said it is incumbent of the Inspector General of Police to decide on how to secure Kenya.

“We have deliberately offered the police operational and financial independence to work. It is their duty to ensure that everyone adheres to the rule of law,” said Ruto.

The President also stated that the government would utilize Kenya's diverse and skilled human capital to boost the country's global profile.

“Negotiations are on the table with countries such as Germany to eliminate red-tape so that our human capital can be utilised.”
