President William Ruto has revealed the identities of suspected foreign entities funding the Gen Z protests in Kenya.

In his visit to Nakuru County on Monday, while facing pressure from Generation Z to reform his government, he singled out the American-funded Ford Foundation, saying if the non-governmental organisation was not interested in democracy in Kenya, they should leave.
