Deputy President William Ruto has asked the police to protect the lives and property of all Kenyans.
Speaking at the St Mark’s ACK, Mukui Parish in Kabete Constituency during the Church’s 43rd Anniversary on Sunday, Ruto
told the police to move with speed and bring perpetrators of the killings and destruction of property to book. He
urged different communities to live together as they have done irrespective of their political affiliations.
“We ask the police to ensure there is no life lost or property destroyed,” said Ruto.
He said the Government would not spare politicians who are involved in the violence.
“The government will be firm and resolute to ensure lives and property of its citizens are safe. I say, nobody is above the law and action will be taken against those inciting Kenyans to violence irrespective of social status, political party or where one comes from,” said Ruto.
This is the message President Uhuru Kenyatta passed during the internment of the late Nyeri County Governor Wahome Gakuru on Saturday. The government is faulting the opposition saying it is the sole source of chaos in the country.
