Ruto: Government will deal firmly with criminals

President William Ruto addressed concerns about criminal activity disguised as peaceful protests, stating that individuals involved in violence, property destruction, and political intimidation have 'graduated from protesters to goons.' He emphasized that the government will take a firm stance against such behavior, which he claims brings chaos to the country. Ruto noted past challenges in addressing crime due to disagreements over how security agencies should respond, but now asserts that criminal gangs will not be allowed to disrupt peace under the guise of political demonstrations. He also reassured citizens that the government will work to maintain stability ahead of the 2027 General Elections, stressing that peace is non-negotiable and that all political leaders should be able to campaign freely without fear of intimidation.
