In a recent roundtable interview, President William Ruto was immediately confronted with questions about the killings of innocent protesters by police during the anti-finance bill protests. The protests erupted over widespread opposition to the finance bill, which critics argue exacerbates the economic burdens on ordinary citizens. The heavy-handed response by the police led to several fatalities, raising national and international outcry. Ruto’s evasive answers on this critical issue revealed significant gaps in his administration’s handling of the situation and sparked a renewed debate on the effectiveness of his leadership.
The session, intended to shed light on his administration’s economic policies and future plans, quickly turned contentious as journalists probed into other controversial issues. Ruto struggled to provide clear responses on the housing levy, anti-corruption efforts, and the soaring cost of living impacting millions of Kenyans. His inability to directly address these pressing concerns highlighted his vulnerability under tough scrutiny. The interview, initially meant to reinforce his stance on key policies, ended up showcasing his administration’s shortcomings and the urgent need for accountability and transparency. This incident has fueled further debate about the direction in which Kenya is heading under his tenure.
