'I have no blood on my hands,' says Ruto

On the trending 'Ruto must go' hashtag, the president said everybody was entitled to their opinion.

"I have a job to do. Citizens are free to engage in discourse that they want to but those are the fruits and signs of a democracy," said the Head of State.

Ruto's remarks come on the back of nationwide protests against tax hikes proposed in the Finance Bill 2024, which has since been withdrawn and concerns raised on poor governance.
