Opposition leaders have demanded that President William Ruto ensure justice for victims of forced disappearances and extrajudicial killings before they can take his apology to Kenyans seriously.
The leaders, including Wiper's Kalonzo Musyoka and Martha Karua of the People Liberation Party, are seeking reparations for affected families and the withdrawal of restrictive laws threatening digital freedoms.
In an official joint statement signed by the Jubilee Party, Kanu, DAP-Kenya, and DP, the leaders said while they welcomed Ruto's move to apologise to Kenyans, his actions must match his apology. ''We, the undersigned political parties, take note of the reconciliatory tone and public apology issued by President William Ruto.
While this shift in tone is welcomed, we must remind the President that apologies, however well-intentioned, must be accompanied by tangible action,'' the leaders said.
