President William Ruto asks Gen-z protesters not to burn their country.

In what appeared to be a departure from his usual abrasive style, the president seemingly implored protesters to become part of the solution saying they were sending the country down a dangerous path where there would be no country. He blamed the protests on opponents who he said wanted power at all costs. The president termed the protests on Wednesday as calculated chaos and economic sabotage. He was addressing Wednesday's june 25th anniversary protests that resulted in the deaths of more than 15 people, left hundreds injured and led to the destruction of millions of shillings in property.
