Ruto questions Ford Foundation alleged role in recent protests
President William Ruto has accused the Ford Foundation of sponsoring the recent anti-government protests in Kenya.
Speaking on Monday, the President took to task the American foundation for its alleged role in destabilizing the country, following countrywide protests against the Finance Bill 2024 which has since been dropped.
The President has vowed to call out all those who are bent on rolling back Kenya’s hard-won democracy, while at the same urging the young people to shun those using them for their selfish interests.
“Our youth are not available for retrogressive assignments. Those sponsoring them to cause violence and mayhem must be ashamed of themselves. We ask the Ford Foundation to explain to Kenyans its role in the recent protests. We will call out all those who are bent on rolling back our hard-won democracy” he warned.
The President was speaking in Nakuru after an inspection tour of the ongoing bus park construction that is aimed at decongesting traffic in the area.
He was flanked by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Governor Susan Kihika, several MPs and MCAs.
