The 93-year-old was the father of prominent businessman and politician Jimi Wanjigi.

Speaking on Friday, July 5, 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.

Ruto faced backlash on Sunday, June 30, across social media platforms for perceived failures to fulfill his promises to Kenyans, including the use of excessive police force.
