Deputy President William Ruto has asked the police to protect the lives and property of all Kenyans.
The Deputy President told the police to move with speed and bring perpetrators of the killings and destruction of property to book.
Speaking at the St Mark’s ACK, Mukui Parish in Kabete Constituency during the Church’s 43rd Anniversary on Sunday, Mr Ruto 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 Mr. 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 Mr. Ruto.
“All Kenyans must respect the rule of law and abide by the Constitution. Violence, anarchy or chaos will not earn any leader any position in this country,” added Mr. Ruto.
The Deputy President asked all Kenyans to reject those spreading hatred, incitement, ethnicity, confusion, and division among them.
“Kenyans should say no to hatred and resist violence, anarchy and reject those who want us to fight so that they can achieve their selfish interest,” said Mr. Ruto.
He said Kenya does not belong to criminals and hooliganism but citizens and patriots who trust the Constitution and the rule of law and people who believe in the Almighty God.
