President William Ruto’s comments on the recent protests,where police fired live ammunition outside parliament and in Guthurai 45,have sparked widespread criticism.Ruto referred to the protestors as criminals who would face appropriate consequences in his speech.
Critics argue that his statement was disingenuous and failed to address the root causes of the unrest. Instead of addressing the demonstrators’ concerns,Ruto issued threats to Kenyans exercising their constitutional rights under Article 37.His remarks were also suspected to be auto-generated by artificial intelligence,further frustrating the public after the prolonged wait for his state of the nation address.
