President Ruto to address the nation ahead of X-Space engagement with the youth » Capital News
NAIROBI, Kenya, Jul 5 – President William Ruto is expected to address the nation ahead of his X-Space engagement with the youth.
A communication from State House indicted that the address will be at State House at 1.00pm.
His X-Space engagement with the youth is set for an hour later where he is expected to discuss various topics.
Kenyan youths have been actively engaging on X-Spaces, issuing demands to the President, including the dismissal of his entire Cabinet. What started as peaceful protests later escalated when criminals infiltrated the demonstrations, leading to public terror and business looting.
More than 40 people were killed, many of them shot dead by police. The youths are now demanding action against the top police hierarchy and the dismissal of individual police officers involved.
The president has hinted at significant changes in his government following the rejection of the budget proposals that sparked the unrest.
