- 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.

We know him too well. He is just pretending until things calm down and he goes back to his arrogant self.
How does he plan to support the dead?
Ruto still justifying need for IMF loans, but not speaking abt any transparency of IMF terms such as austerity requirements and other conditions that come with the loans. His solution is to just reduce the amount of the loan...for now. Does anyone believe he won't go back to the IMF to get more later and then impose some new tax scheme or social cuts more cleverly disguised?
Thanks for your contributions. Many African leaders have fallen for the trap of the IMF loans which does no good to any country obtaining such loans without any solid industrial base to invest the money on. They enrich themselves and leave their citizens with austerity and inflationary measures.
That’s exactly what he’s going to do
@@sofic.1622How do you know. No kenyan President has ever apologised. Give him the respect he gives back.
@@zamahaz1302 Let us see what happens then, but i truly fear those budget cuts in government he promised will actually mean budget cuts to government services that are vital to many Kenyans. Be watchful GenZ, he may just be substituting taxes for cuts in healthcare, education, transportation, food programs, amongst others. These are the kinds of tricks played here in the US, and by the IMF worldwide.
It's notable to make such apologies in good faith with the true intentions of honoring the cause of the masses in this recent uprising and demonstrations . It's time for African leaders to wake up and stop being foolish by compromising the best living conditions of their own people because of personal greed and avarice.
Ruto should understand the gen z anger and step down ,we die and leave pow,just leave it
😂😂 so is now that you know that people lost their life 😂😂 mr man, you are living we don't longer need you😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂
You must go now we want leader not master
Step down this man, Kenya. He's an idol, that must be pulled down.
Go pull him down
What you can't do in Nigeria
The next thing is a coup taking place.
Let step down,Obama will take care president kenya job .
Ruto is a real vampires,,, calling from Ghana
How do you know.
They stood for Kenya. But now we stand for them. Mr Ruto goooooooooo
Ruto needs a good "bwa kalé". Kenyans deserve a better leader. Get rid of him, he is too corrupted and too greedy. Free Kenya from that deceiver!
FREE KENYA FROM THIS GREEDY MAN. RUTO MUST GO!
This man must go
He can’t go. Wait for calculated elections rigging next time lol
Obama waiting for that job..don't worry...
An honest politician leaves Office with less money jingling in his pockets than when s/he came in.
He is apologizing because he doesn’t want to step down
Time to resign Mr

Stop louphing on our siblings' graves!!!!! Tokaaaaa
Thank you Mr President. You have done ✅. Your people around you have costed you a lot by their irresponsible actions and greed. In the early days of your presidency, you seemed to be very much concerned with corruption eradication. Later you slowed down. Watch out for the people whom you will leave around you as you make changes.
Nobody wants to hear how y'all maintaining being enslaved😂😂
He's still talking about borrowing money 😅 and again his plan of jobs that people didn't see. Again he's promising things that he can't do 😅
Kenya's why u give him time to talk nonsense more fire guy's
IS A GOOD BEGINNING LET US ALL SUPPORT HIM TO IMPLEMENT THESE MEASURES AND KEEP AN EYE ON THOSE WHO DO NOT FOLLOW THE RULES.
THE 2ND IMPORTANT THING WE NEED IS TO TELL US HOW MUCH LOANS WE HAVE AND TO WHOM AND IN WHAT TERMS OF PAYMENT..WE NEED TO BE TOLD .PERIOD.AUDITOR MUST HASTEN THESE AUDITING OF DEBTS ASAP.
It is too late,people have been killed , he needs to go.
If someone apologize then it's okey.. every one mess up and God Almighty forgives us when we apologise let keyans forgive him and keep observing now... forgiveness is good!!!
Is Nairobi burning?
Arrogance!
These president's need to learn a bit of humility and contrition. They don't teach that at Uni in PPE courses or at Sandhurst.
Looks like kenya is in for a period of Austerity.
But Austerity kills growth as we found out in Britain
Keep Peace in Kenya don't riot and make Kenya a failed state like other African Countries
Now this is the real Hustler government we want ..twende kazi sasa Mr president
Someone make me understand the yellow flag 😂
To little to late
This guy is not human
Ni shetani
Absolutely right he has nothing human about. He is disgusting and nasty
Obama is human!!
This is a wicked evil person
With draw Kenyan police from Haiti 😮
Viva Kenya ❤❤❤
Viva obama kenya president.
Take action to step aside😮
Let obama take care that job
It's too late even if they say better late than never. You must Go Ruto
IMF wrote his speech for him. Ibrahim Traore and Bukele do not need to read written speeches by the IMF.
Give Ruto a second chance he's a great leader I don't think he caused this trouble Kenya has in two years of his Precidency it started long before he before
Time to recind your last order . You work for the people ! Not the other way around . And then they need fair incentives to carry on for you .
That’s how a republic works .
Why repeat the same video 4 times 😏
Africans leaders don't hear word except is too late. Nigeria will still start there's very soon bcos of high cost of food.
Kenya ....❤ Alive nation...
Keep it up...
Prosperity is now inevitable...
This creature is Cameron keep on changing as weather changes we as Gen c let keep on watching every step as this chameleon keep on changes. Mind u we r not fullish.
Let's talk about cutting the VAT in half until the shilling comes back up. Your brilliant idea of sending police after our gen z with live rounds during peaceful protests is the reason it has hit the ground.
I thought, hillbillies only dwelled in Desiland. I was wrong. My bad.
Lol😂 from Haiti with my popcorn watching Kenya keep the power of the people alive. Looks like you guys have a gang problem in the government I see. Here’s a man that ordered the Kenya army on Kenyans. Now he’s reading a script 😂😂🤣🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹 Leave Haiti while u still can.
He is realizing all Kagame's success stories are lies and made up. It doesn't work where people still have some freedom.
Obama family again! Sweat
Ruto as a statesmanship should have resigned longtime back if really cares about his people who voted him into power...African Leaders cling on power for greed mentality
Why impose the offices in the first place if we could supposedly do without them? It’s always about them and now they can’t do without being at the top they will promise changes which will never happen. A selfish person remains selfish period
Oportunist...to the people. He's originally come from poor hill land tribes clans. He grab the whealthy during joint politics. Now he was richest and act like elite corporate leader.
remaind small for us Nigerians to start our on cuz we are ready fully
Is the protest still happening till date?
Oh yes it is
Es ist besser neues Wahl in Kenya
Thank you for acknowledgement and apologise to those who lost their life. How are you going to pay back the loan that the some of the middle class and those live on day to day earning to survive didn’t eat. Its unjustice to lower class who have been force into this lifestyle due to greedy top class, corrupted and government not securing the citizen.Globally everyone is suffering with this inflation mostly working and lower class. Capitalism is force to everyone and destroyed humanity in society. Religious people can say the devil is winning while other would say greed is at the top. Every Country by now has a debt from financial organisation. The developing countries from middle class ate suffering to beyond their small capability that the struggle to live on. How is this fair when they have never enjoyed or gain in those loan. Incase it was implemented, where it was used should recover the money. At this Century, why are there children walking on mud with no shoes. While other Country, every week the buy clothing and shoes. While daily in developed Country, people throw cloths and shoes. Is this this World we live have no humanity. The day l see no children walking without ripped clothes and with shoe then l will be satisfied to know the is no greedy and there are good leaders in this World. Kenya should open door for Good reputable Charity organisation to fight poverty. Tax should be implemented to those who are able. Don't squeeze the little that people have to live on. No oppression of power, greed and corruption.
he must step down
Obama step up.
Wake up, Gen Zs of Nigeria, and stop being distracted with yeye brities.
What happened in world 😮
War criminal biden
Blah blah blah. Too little too late.
And God won’t bless you Ruto just leave go away
How can you send your Army to Haiti while you have same problem in your Country. Isn’t that hypocrite. Kenya have their own lots of problem. IMF can be paid slowly, clear Chinese loan first and get the land back to the Citizen. There are lots of houses, land and businesses that pay taxes. Where do all is money go while the municipality staff are greediest people and harassing citizen with getting bribes while all sewages are left open and uncleaned. Don't keep taking and no development in infrastructures on Council work. Where are this money going, while loan is still taken and eaten by top cream for their future generation security too. I believe he could make the change as he lived in that ghetto life and seen what people have to endure and survive. He is hone up and still suppress the lower people. Work from ground if you want to finish this problem. Take lesson on change in organisation and implement the tactics. Get and see feedback and follow up where change is needed. There are lots to tackle in kenya matter.
Too late..Mr Ruto
Puppet boy Lol 🤣🤣🤣
Ruto take care of his buisness in haiti, no , haiti is rich, kenya poor, free up kenyan , with haiti money, must win situations,

President Ruto has a mantle of Presidency! He is the most humble Presidents on the continent of Africa, he has a Spirit of Humility. Most leaders can never stand before the world to repent! We all make mistakes, give him a chance to lead Kenya for a second term.
