The meeting at State House Nairobi, presided over by President William Ruto, was informed that, while the riots began as a protest against tax measures proposed in the Finance Bill 2024, they were infiltrated, hijacked, and taken over by criminal and opportunistic political forces.
This comes a day after a section of Senators piled pressure on the President to dismiss some Cabinet Secretaries.
Last week, Ruto declined to sign the Finance Bill 2024 following public uproar.
