- President William Ruto’s voice has faltered as he addresses Kenyans, oscillating from a mixture of deep feelings of rage, empathy, hurt, and reflection.
With a more emboldened Gen Z population across the country making a huge list of demands, an agitated stronghold, rebellion from his Deputy, a possible shrink in the tax collections, and condemnation of...

I'm Ethiopian. When I see this interview, I am really jealous of the Kenyan democracy. I also want to say sorry for your losses 😔.

Our wish😂😂
You have a good president and the things you hold him accountable is an accumulation of antecedents of mismanagement of long run.
@@alexisnduwayo7629 yes this problem send from the Nyayo era where there didn’t create jobs and have not been creating jobs for young people and that’s why Gen X and milennial and now Gen Z have no jobs. The people we remember working are the baby boomers
Excellent and diplomatic President RUTO, The journalists are not prepared and taking one side. The President is educating them, they want to learn
He might not have given all the answers but you can tell there is democracy. Maybe the questions should be a bit more to the point and it's good to see that the president is open to communicate with the people.
He's a great president
I wonder which answer to which question our president is responding to.😢
WILLIAM RUTO IS THE BEST PRESIDENT NOT ONLY IN KENYA BUT ALSO IN AFRICA.Lets know our limits as we exercise our democratic rights.
I love the show but hate the journalist behavior towards the President, he has tried his best to explain him self but the journalists do not list
If dont have a payricpt you dont know it pains working and being overtaxed
This Ruto guy is too smart... He is tactful in his responses while the journalists keep beating about the bush. Linus is confused. So are the rest. Ruto is quite wise and he choses his words carefully...
Let Ruto, not feel that he was not heard! He spoke eloquently as he is good at it. He also said very good things of what he has managed to achieve and his concerns over the tax bill. He however needs to understand his audience, this was not a time to show strength, but was a time to show compassion. Another point is that majority of his good ideas are surface based and don't trickle down to the people. His ministers appoint people of their tribe regardless of qualifications to excecute his initiatives and in the end Ruto fails to deliver. Ruto needs to realize that he can't run the country by himself, and its very important to have competent people working for him. Kenyas dept can be fully paid quickly with the corruption money in parastetals, and other government agencies. Ruto should not fear getting people who are able to tell him the truth, the "yes sir people" are the ones that got us to this mess. Now the Gen Z are doing the work of the parliament while they are on recess, and getting paid.
Tell him to stand one day and tell kenyan if you see your mp o governor stealing stone him or police recieving corruption bit him he will see change. Work with citizens not mpigs
I believe that before you interview the president you need to have facts,not hearsays, the interviewers have not researched, they don't have facts, they are just trying their show offs. Please you don't put the president to answer questions for police commissioner !!!!! It's a pity to have such an interview with the president. But we thank God for the humility of our president.
That's how foolish " Democracy" is...
Action leads to reaction and reaction leads to counter reaction...Why blame Ruto???
These journalists are one sided in approach its as if they are against their own country
The journalists are even competing among themselves.
Including the said abductions: Do the three journalist hold brief for someone.
I usually ask how the media wants the country to look like?
When the president talks of goons who every Kenyan know are present during the maandamano, the journalists and the entire media give a blind eye to that. So to them the hooligans were right, those who lost their businesses deserved it and everything that happened on the streets was called for.
Who are you 'Big Media' working for? Because it is not all Kenyans.
best president..wenye wivu thought they will hide behind Gen Z to bring up there agenda of ruto must go 😮
These journalists came across as biased and lacking in objectivity. They appeared bent on driving the narrative a certain direction. Linus Kaikai comes across as bitter and angry. This felt more like a roast than a conversation. Liberal media in it's element.
very true
Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.
I still believe in You Your Excellency and Thr government.👏🏾👏🏾.. God help Kenya🇰🇪
Ruto has tried, this corruption started since the independence year
and every politician in Kenya is corrupt.
This wasn't an interview. It was a confrontation. Ruto's back against the wall.
He's had the country against the wall for 2 years.
Poor journalists' style of questions
Ruto is a very wise president. These journalists are so biased. They came to attack the president. But as usual, the president was calm and corrected. They couldn't even give him space to answer. Our journalists, you need some added school to your careers. You missed an opportunity to get it right on behalf of Kenyans.
In usa we pay everything taxes a third of your earnings go to taxes. That's the money that run the country and help countries in America. People don't demonstrate about it because they understand.
It's showing how ignorant we are and easily manipulated by politicians.
We are not against taxes per se, we are asking for accountability from the government which is non existent in our country
@@RMIDRIS Well, from demonstrators not like all I'm hearing them saying no taxes and the president should step down. Now it's the opposition meaning this was all along the president's enemies who are trying to stage a coup using the young ones. They don't even want the police to bring order now business are destroyed by these goons calling themselves genez. Well, tears will come later. Before I supported them but now I found out this is the opposition. Where did they go.t the co.... infact I'm ashamed of them bringing curses to our country and you o themselves.
@@pammora292 in the USA you see the development the tax money does, in Kenya that money will be looted and the politicians will enrich themselves and not improve the livelihood of its citizens. Now that’s the difference 😏
@@pammora292Yes but dn,t compare US and Kenya, Because the management is not the same. Kenya taxipayers money gose to the big fish pockets.
@@roseandersen6903 comparison is necessary, why do I say so , that usa started the same two hundred yrs ago. Someone has to be bold and start something eventually even us Africans can be there. How can we do better if we can't accept change. Change is the hardest thing of mind , but when conquered is it the best. All great leaders made drastically changes that made citizens very uncomfortable. But it gave great results and they went to history.
Us instead of expressing our grievances and meet in the middle we create animosity, rebel against them as the worst leaders, threaten them, name it. Who bewitched us.
We are comfortable living in loans of other countries who pay a third of their salaries and this will continue drowning us more and more.
God help us
Love d the interview
Noma
I support Ruto must go. I however Disagree with Linus Kakai disrespect unprofessionalism , this guy is confrontational , he kept disrupting? Very unethical and ugly to watch
Can Ruto lead Ethiopia too? We need someone who listens the people. The baby PM is destroying the country.
Every qn the president answers right with facts thy go back to the two weeks of riots.
Very few presidents can allow such an interview these interviewers came to attack and embarrass the president not for answers & information
It is regrettable to observe pervasive bias across all media platforms, indicating an underlying agenda in interviews. Nevertheless, an acknowledgement of the necessity for the Kenyan government to enhance its transparency regarding the utilization of public funds is warranted. This includes the imperative to recalibrate the compensation of government officials, ensuring parity with the impact on the average Kenyan citizen.
The guys were asking him the same questions and not allowing him to answer was it a debate??. Ruto was wrong about how police took the situation, but journalists should not be asking about the killing alone ask what impacts us kenyan where we are on street not happy with him like how he will deal with corruption,plans and why this bill was rejected by kenyan but questioning him about the killing alone was not helping actually made interview meaningless as views we needed to answers from him
Ruto is still the best president at the moment and in my own opinion, I will still trust him with this country. I am very optimistic that he will deliver however, transparency, honesty and integrity must remain the key.
Very well said. Thank you.
Hakuna kitu amefanya sema tu nj kwa sababu ni mtu wenu usi sugarcoat ukabila

Why don't you weit the answer of your President.
I and over 50 million we are mad about your leadership it is not living the talk you have not done the mandate that we voted you to do. You have become a leader who cares less about the young generation that voted you in numbers. You have given us the leadership who are blunt they ain't doing nothing we are now ridiculed because of our choices. Mr President we don't need people to be given politically related seats that are bloating our budget.
1. C.A.S. positions are unconstitutional and should be out we have a civil servant who hasn't received their paycheck.
2. The second wife and Chief minister's offices aren't supposed to be funded by the government we have education to be funded with this money.
3. Reduce travel expenses we have hospitals to be funded.
You guys are disrespectful. Why don't you give Excellency chance to respond to your questions? This interview is not for your alone. We are interested too
Poleni sana kwa maafa na msiba. Why does the media sound so biased. And by the way they interrupts Ruto constantly, just to drive a point . I actually checked that bill and I didn't see anything to do with land owners leasing, that was bs and fabricated. Right? The question is, is there a bigger picture behind the small picture? Like an entity that feeds on our debt that is mad that its plate might get smaller with time. I believe this one is pulling the strings attached. Expose those ticks. Also on educating citizens about national debt. I suggest a big screen to be raised where everyone can see the national debt clock in real-time asap.
Ruto Ako fiti
Keniyan democracy is getting better, the president asked without any fear, journalists are very conserned about the peiple. That is what the country needs
The president is saying he was protecting civilians or peoples property those who are not or were not pertispeting in the routing and burning citizens propertys is what he is trying to say.If it was a demonstration fee and fair no deaths could be they.
How about the corruption and stolen money and careless spending
Seems that KTN was part of the chaos.
A wonderful interview Mr President. Were the 24 people allegedly shot actually shot the demonstrations and in which town did that happen?. The police officers should arrest anyone who resist arrest regardless of the cries from their family members. Innocent Kenyans should keep of the location where Gen Z innocent demonstrators mixed with criminal Gen Z gangs are likely to crash with our security officers to avoid being hit by a bullet meant for a criminal. To avoid such accidents, innocent Kenyans who are not in the innocent Gen Z demonstration and not in the criminal Gen Z thugs and looters group should be a distance away from the innocent Gen Z demonstrators seen mixed with criminals Gen Z thugs and looters group to limit the chances of being hit by police bullets meant for criminals. Parents must warn their children from following the mixed multitude to protect them from being hit by stray bullets meant for chriminals. Innocent Kenyans and children must be made aware of the danger of following a mixed multitude likely to fight with our security forces because of risk of being hit by stray bullets meant for criminals. Some innocent Kenyans and children are accidentally killed by stray bullets because they deliberately ignore these personal safety measures. The parents own negligence may result to sn accidental shooting of children. and Kenyans who neglect to take safety measures and follow up the mixed Gen Z multitude who are likely to fight with the police may be accidentally hit by police bullets not meant for them but for criminals. Deaths caused by negligence of the dead should neither be blamed on the police officers nor on our president.
Our security officers should be very watchful to ensure that wicked members of Gen Z criminal group (mixed with innocent Gen Z demonstrators) don't shoot down innocent Kenyans and them blame our security officers for the shooting.
The human rights officers should be objective, just and just. They should be concerned with violation of the human rights of innocent Kenyans by the big multitude of Gen Z innocent youth demonstrators mixed Gen Z youth thugs and looters. Whenever the Gen Z mixed multitude enter s town or city some shops are looted, private property like houses, business and vehicled are destroyed etc. Such atrocious activities are public violations right of Kenyans and the human rights body of Kenya must speak for the respect the right of Kenyans by thisiltitude and strongly condemn the mixed Gen Z multitude hindering other Kenyans from enjoying their rights property, operating their businesses without illegal trespass and plunder from Gen Z criminals group. it's sickening to see that human rights officers lean more on the side of protecting demonstrator right to free speech and right to peaceful demonstation while saying little or nothing about the violation of the right of other Kenyans by Gen Z peaceful demonstrators and Gen Z thugs and looters. Furthermore the officers of the human rights body of Kenya and the main stream media journalists are quick to condemn and demonize police officers whenever a seemingly innocent person or child is accidentally wounded or killed by a bullets shot by police officers in line of duty. They don't stop to think about the right of the police officers to defend themselves and other innocent Kenyans and their properties. They don't stop to think the risk to life that militant mixed multitude of demonstrators pose to police officers. These champion of human rights in Kenya don't seem to sympathize with police officers who suffer injury or crippled or killed by militant demonstrators.
They don't strive to alert the demonstrators of the right of police officers to self defense and defence of innocent Kenyans against militant demonstrators. Whenever a police officer is injured or overwhelmed and his gun taken from him by s demonstrator or even killed, these skewed champion of human rights and reporters look the other way or report it lightly to limit the Kenyans ñattention to the incidence. But when a police officer shoots a militant criminal or accidentally shoots an innocent Kenyan, these unjust champions of human rights and tough speaking journalists become highly charged, and publicly condemns the police officer, calling him "killer cop", "trigger happy" etc without saying anything about officers right and duty to self defense and defense of other innocent Kenyans. The government should come up with clear policy and mechanism to protect our police officers from intimidation, persecution and defamation by human rights officers and corrupt journalists.
As a trained journalist, The interviewers failed by bringing forth their personal hatred to the president in the interview.
As much as the main Kenyan media (Royal Media Services, Nation Media Group, Standard Media Group and Mediamax) did not support Dr. William Ruto since his candidature for presidency, when he won the presidency, the media should just accept and become a watchdog as it should but not insight the masses against the government, just because the president was not their candidate.
The journalist in this panel wanted to pin down the president with an intention of pinning him down.
The journalists wanted to ask questions but not ready to get responses, but its like they wanted to ask rhetorical questions, with an answer already predetermined.
They kept on asking about the dead people, and still when the president says he gives an assurance to the mother of the young man, they still insist on whether the president is not remorseful.
It is common sense that when the police are pursuing a criminal, there must be casualties, but these experienced journalists would not even listen.
When the president starts explaining something sensible, they intercept. It's like they want the president to answer their questions in a particular way.

Absolutely ridiculous! This man Alfred K. was arrested, obviously he refused to come with the police. The children were screaming hysterically. The police certainly had good reason to arrest this man. So why not just go with them? If he had done nothing wrong he would be released lateron. Was anybody hurt ???
Absolutely. In every country it must be order.
Keter like drama we are waiting him at home to circumcise 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣@@philipchirchir7035
Your president is a wise man - in spite of all the flaws that he might have. I wish my country (Sweden) had a president like him. LISTEN to him! In my country the police do not dare to interfere and crime is increasing by the minute.
In Kenya police are the criminals😂
You should be aware that he has about nearly everything he has been asked, and when he has answered, he has shirked responsibility and accountability to people under his orders 🙃🙏
@@agnihayakawa "he has about nearly everything he has been asked" What has he? "shirked responsibility....." He made it quite clear that the police may act on their own and are supposed to do so.
@@christopherg2967 I wish the police were more like "criminals" in my country. At least they can stop violence.
@@GabrieleMeurer It is imperative that there exist a specialized disciplinary police force charged with overseeing police conduct and enforcing sanctions in response to irregularities and misconduct within the police force. This unit must possess the authority and requisite capabilities to effectively discharge these responsibilities.
🎉Ruto use solomonist wisdom.He is wise.thanks mr.president
Democracy is freedom but freedom has limits and according to what is this journalist doesn't respect the President and for a person well educated, it is not good to interrupt someone while he is still speaking.
Jacob Zuma of South Africa was called the dancing president, having listened to Sir Ruto, many names are coming to mind
From Rex Masaai to parliament.!!!! Rex was killed in the street was he in parliament
Ruto is very genius you can't tackle him easily
Are you even aware of how much taxes I pay in my country (Sweden) and I do pay them because I know they are neccessary. And I am not a rich person, only hard-working.
People are not angry because of the taxes imposed on them they are angryy that they are overtaxing us and nothing is to show for it....if you had read the finance bill you wouldnt be quick to put your mouth in matters that you cant understand nor doesnt concern you... like why would you tax a person who is jobless for heavens sakebe fuckin fr rn.....and they are jobless not because they are uneducated nor aren't hardworking... it's because the government has imposed taxes making 30+ and in counting investors and companies back out......
So are a lot of Kenyan..probably have less opportunities than you in Sweden. Kenyans want to pay tax.. but they need jobs first to do that. Please don’t comment on things you don’t know. Visit Kenyan first..then comment.
Dn,t compare Sweden taxi payers and kenyan taxi. The healthcare in sweden is in another leavel, the road. the education and so on. But the kenya taxi payer money go to other people pocket,s. Kina Oscar Sund , Murkomeni. Kina Ichungwa and Ndindi Nyoro they are, carrying money with bags, while millions of kenyans are sleeping hungry. And this just a list of afew mapigs.
@@roseandersen6903 How do you know that tax (not taxi) money does NOT go into the pockets of powerful people in Sweden?
@@GabrieleMeurer even if the swedish taxi payer money go to the pockets of the powerfull , people in Sweden we still can see what our taxies do. Slutar nu jag också i Sverige.!!! Call a spade a Spade not a big spoon.
I am afraid you journalists are looking to place blame Western style. Your job is to yes hold your leader responsible. Your must anchor your questions on the need of your country and its future. Your first question should have been what moved you to do what you did and why? At any rate, I like to wish Kenya well.
i agree that the biggest issue is unemployment trying to downplay this thing to two weeks is not proper

Kenyan people are very lucky having such president. If this was in Ethiopia, the reports are killed immediately. In the first place, Abiy has not a confident to open such type of discussion.
Fanoooookool
Kaikai are you a father?
The arrogance of this narcissist knoews no bounds, his lack of empathy is saddening!...He and all the other Western puppet leaders of Africa must be ousted for the prosperity of Panafricanism, eventually for the growth of Africa!
As a person well versed with pan Africanism, I say leave my president alone.

io video haikua cctv .. u people r lying also.. i think the cctv video on afred keter ingekua cctv tungeona what happened before aanze kutolewa kwa fujo
"Let me tell yu the following " Thats his preamble for lying.
You reporters should concentrate on people that really suffered, lost property, did not participate in these violent and destructive protests. Interview them!
If they were living in Sweden and enjoying life like you..they probably would not even be on the streets.
The kenyan president has no feelings... oh lord ....another one 😂😂
Mr Williams Ruto is very rude cast him in prison,
Mr president when people start fighting the other even your wife in the house starts to implant things which are not from your deeds.
