“There will be no more demonstrations in this country. I want to tell Raila Odinga, mimi niko na wewe macho kwa macho, tutakutana,” President Ruto declared.
The Head of State vowed to deal with Raila head-on if he continues with the protests. He asked Raila to wait until 2027 to try his luck at the presidency.
“I want to tell him that if it’s protesting, we will meet because you cannot use extrajudicial and extraconstitutional means to look for power in Kenya. There is a constitution, the people of Kenya went to an election and they elected a government. If you want power, wait for 2027 and I will beat you again,” Ruto added.
