Kenyan president William Ruto yester night shared his speech on the aftermath of the demonstrations against the finance bill.
The president made a speech at 9.00 pm to address the issue, which seemingly got out of hand after the demonstrators took to parliament building to destroy property.
He claims the demos were sponsored and he called out the financiers, giving them a stern warning against indulging in such.
“Today’s events mark a critical point in how we respond to threats to national security. “We will ensure a situation of this nature does not recur again.” “I hereby put on notice the planners, financiers, orchestrators and abettors of violence and anarchy, that these security infrastructures established to protect our republic and its sovereignty, will be deployed to secure the country and restore normalcy,” he started off

He further continued to urge Kenyans to stay put as he promised law and order will suffice.
“The government will therefore uphold its constitutional mandate to secure our nation and its development and shall treat every threat to national security and the integrity of our state as an existential danger to our Republic. “Accordingly, I assure Kenyans that we shall provide a full, effective and expeditious response to today’s treasonous events. “I shall continue to lead a government that is fully committed tomaintaining the integrity of our state, promoting the unity of ournation and enhancing the peace and security of all citizens andtheir livelihoods.
“I am bound under sacred constitutional mandate to respect, uphold and defend the constitution of Kenya, which declares that all sovereign power belong to the people, and that this power shall be exercised only in accordancewith the constitution.”
President Ruto did not speak on the finance bill; which passed yesterday.
