Watch | Kenya Protests: President William Ruto Apologises For “Arrogance and Opulence” Amid Protests
Kenya’s President William Ruto issued a public apology for the “arrogance and show of opulence” displayed by ruling party legislators and ministers amid recent tax hike protests. He also vowed to take action against “rogue” police officers who opened fire on unarmed civilians during the demonstrations and the storming of parliament. President Ruto, referring to what he called arrogant statements made by officials, said public speaking was “difficult” and some people make “mistakes” for which he takes responsibility and promised change in the conduct of officials. Ruto’s apology and promise to address police brutality comes in response to public outrage over deadly protests against proposed tax hikes. The protests saw police shoot civilians, parts of the parliament building set on fire, and protesters storming Parliament during a finance bill vote.
