Kenya: Ruto Says "No Blood On My Hands" As Protests In Nairobi Continue | Firstpost Africa

After days of deadly protests in Kenya against new tax hikes, President William Ruto says he has no blood on his hands, as he insists, he is not to be blamed for the protest deaths. Rights groups say at least 30 were killed in the week-long protests, however, Ruto has put the toll on 19 during an interview with Kenyan TV. Ruto said an investigation will be launched into the deaths, however, he also warned action against "criminals" who attacked the country's parliament last Tuesday. Several protesters continued their peaceful march in the capital Nairobi on Sunday to honour those who were killed in the protests.
