DP Ruto Apologises over Violence at His Murang’a Event

Deputy President William Ruto has condemned violence that was witnessed in Murang’a on Sunday ahead of his event in the area.

The DP asked for forgives, noting that it was inappropriate for police to teargas residents who had gathered in a church.

The DP vowed to ensure that the same never happens again.

“I ask you for your forgiveness; the people of Murang’a and Kenol for the embarrassment that we saw here in the morning. That officers who get paid by taxpayers’ money can come to this place and teargas the church is something that shouldn’t have happened and will not happen again,” the DP said as quoted by Nation.
