Ruto Orders The Release of Protestors From Prison

William Ruto has ordered the immediate release of individuals who were peacefully protesting in various parts of Nairobi yesterday.

In a national address today, President Ruto expressed condolences to the families who lost loved ones. He directed that those who were inadvertently caught in the events be released and charges against them dropped.

Regrettably, there were instances of excessive, unlawful, and harmful behavior during the demonstrations, resulting in numerous arrests and charges,

William stated.

I urge law enforcement agencies to swiftly release individuals who were innocently caught up and not involved in criminal activities, withdrawing any charges against them.

This decision aims to enable agencies to concentrate their efforts on investigating and prosecuting serious criminal offenders who exploited yesterday’s peaceful protests to vandalize both public and private property.
