@blackandwhite_ke: In an Al Jazeera interview aired on November 9, 2025 (just yesterday), Ruto doubled down when pressed on the directive. He stated: "I don’t regret those comments at all because the law allows the police to use force when other people’s lives are in danger. The police know what they need to do and understand what is in their purview."This isn't Ruto's first brush with protest backlash. In 2024, similar Gen Z-led demos forced him to withdraw a controversial Finance Bill and sack his cabinet. Despite promises on jobs, education, and anti-corruption, public trust remains low—youth unemployment hovers at 35%, and economic woes persist. Ruto's defenders argue the order prevented anarchy, but for many, it symbolizes a slide toward authoritarianism in a nation still healing from colonial-era traumas. #ruto #aljazeera #citizen
