Kenya Protest Live: Kenyan President William Ruto Addresses The Nation Amid Protests | N18G

President William Ruto has urged the authorities to withdraw charges levelled against innocent people arrested during protests, says justice system should now focus on those who took advantage of peaceful demos to cause mayhem.

He also said that all all violations committed by police during recent protests must be handled expeditiously, urges National Police Service to execute mandate as per Constitution.

Anti-government protesters in Kenya’s capital clashed with an emerging pro-government group on Tuesday, with hundreds swarming and burning a motorcycle belonging to people who expressed support for the country's president. The military made a rare deployment as the protests focused on the country's main airport. The weeks of turmoil in East Africa's economic hub have led to dozens of deaths, the firing of most Cabinet members and calls for President William Ruto's resignation. Protests began with Kenyans' rejecting a proposed bill to impose more taxes as millions in the country barely get by amid rising prices.
