Ruto blames his troubles on US trip, says forces unhappy with historic visitPresident William Ruto is now blaming his opponents for the challenges facing his administration, adding that his state visit to the United States of America rubbed some quarters the wrong way and they are now fighting back to cripple his leadership. Unlike other Sundays, the head of state was not accompanied by his political allies, with only Governor Patrick Ole Ntutu and his predecessor Samuel Tunai in attendance. The president claimed that the demonstrations against the Finance Bill were being funded by his opponents. His deputy Rigathi Gachagua, who was in Bomet County, appealed to the youth to call off the demonstrations and give dialogue a chance to address the issues raised by the Gen Zs. The two leaders vowed to deliver on the promises they made to Kenyans, with the President noting that his administration has made several strides in addressing the challenges facing the country, including the high cost of living.

But finding ways through regulation to encourage responsible khat trade and consumption, while protecting livelihoods, is surely the way forward.
