President William Ruto has been criticised by opposition and civil rights groups for his threats against business people who opposed his sugar sector reforms.

Amnesty International, and the Law Society of Kenya expressed concern about President Ruto's remarks, calling them careless and disturbing. They said it was troubling for the Head of State to threaten investors with arrest, deportation, or even harm.
