Kenya protests were 'treasonous' says William Ruto - BBC Africa
Kenyan President William Ruto has termed today’s protests as "treasonous events".
In a televised address from State House, Ruto said the demonstrations had been "hijacked" and he was putting "on notice the planners, financiers, orchestrators, abetters of violence and anarchy".
He added that the military had been deployed across the country “in response to the security emergency caused by the ongoing violent protests".
“This marks a critical turning point in how we respond to such threats on national security," he said.
