Law Society of Kenya President Faith Odhiambo expressed her deep dissatisfaction with the governments response to the violent protests that injured many Kenyans in a statement released on June 26th 2024. President Ruto's speech to the country on the night of June 25 has experienced harsh criticism from the Law Society of Kenya, which guarantees that his discourse coming up short on fundamental compassion and regret anticipated from a forerunner in the midst of public misery."Mr. President, your speech to the country the previous evening was not official by any means," said Odhiambo. You did not display the face of the God-fearing candidate elected in August 2022. Your words lacked the comforting aroma of regret that comes from a father who has lost members of his family. The protests which erupted over a variety of socioeconomic grievances devolved into violence resulting in numerous protesters being injured.
The Law Society of Kenya has asserted that the government has failed to adequately assist those impacted by the uprising. The Law Society of Kenya claims that the administrations response has been inadequate preventing many injured Kenyans from receiving the assistance they so desperately require. "The organization has neglected to offer assistance to the Kenyans that were harmed during the lethal fights," Odhiambo expressed."
Especially during times of crisis, it is the responsibility of the government to ensure the safety and well-being of its citizens. The Law Society of Kenya's judgment reflects developing disappointment among different common society gatherings and the general population with respect to the public authority's treatment of the circumstance.
