President William Ruto is set to lead the Executive arm of government during the upcoming two-day National Executive Retreat, which will focus on the country's slowing economy and the rate of employment.
The retreat, comprising Ruto, his Deputy, Kithure Kindiki, Cabinet Secretaries, Principal Secretaries, and senior government officials, will commence on Thursday, June 19, and run until Friday, June 20.
The high-level engagement comes at a time when the country faced a fresh round of protests, akin to those witnessed last year during the anti-Finance Bill demonstrations. Kenyans, mostly in the Nairobi Central Business District (CBD), protested against the killing of popular influencer Albert Ojwang.
The demonstrations turned violent, with goons infiltrating the protests and police shooting a mask hawker at point-blank range.
