President Ruto says decisions will have to be made by institutions in an apparent response to demonstrations against the Finance Bill 2024
President Ruto says decisions will have to be made by institutions in an apparent response to demonstrations against the Finance Bill 2024.
Speaking on Wednesday during a meeting with Amani National Congress (ANC) leaders at State House, Ruto said that he will make sure all institutions work for the people of Kenya.
He said every arm of government is carrying out its mandate and he will respect these institutions so that the right decisions can be made.
Ruto however, said those who want to demonstrate can do so but decisions have to be made by institutions.
He insisted that as Head of state, he would respect all institutions that make decisions to help the people of Kenya.
“I will make sure that as a democratic country, all institutions work for the people of Kenya. It is the way we are going to take Kenya into the future. And there’s no conflict every arm of government is doing their assignment and I will make sure as President I respect institutions so that we can make right decisions so that we centralise the place of people of Kenya,” Ruto said.

“We are a democratic country. Those who want to demonstrate it is their right, no problem. But decisions have to be made by institutions. We will make decisions as an executive, take it to the legislature, people of Kenya will speak to it through public participation, others will subject it to court processes and that is how democracy works and I am a great believer in democracy,” he added.
The President affirmed that he will make sure Kenya continues to be a robust democracy where people engage constructively.
He noted that while the Executive proposes where it wants the country to go, the people of Kenya have the ultimate say through public participation.
He said as Kenya transitions from debt to a self-reliant country, it has to be done in a way that institutions play a part in the reform.
