He opined that Ruto’s adamancy and unpopular leadership decision that has recently pitted him against the majority of Kenyans, especially the Gen Zs, will ultimately lead to his political downfall.
Azimio One Kenya coalition principal Kalonzo Musyoka accused the President of siding with what they termed as injustice and curtailing constitutional rights by congratulating the police even though their excesses were obvious.
Azimio Party Leader Raila Odinga on Friday rallied behind Gen Zs even as he criticised the police for using excessive force when dealing with unarmed youthful protesters.
Speaking at State House, Nairobi, President William Ruto acknowledged the past two weeks as a challenging period for the country, marked by loss of life, injuries, and property damage.
His comments come amid increasing criticism of his administration over proposed taxes, corruption among State officers, and high unemployment rates among the youth.
