President William Ruto has directed security agencies to firmly deal with those looting and vandalising businesses during protests.
Speaking in Kilimani duyring the lauch of Affordabe housing project, Ruto said such people should be shot and taken to court. "Mtu ambaye anenda kuchoma mali ya watu an kupiga polisi, mtu kama huyo apigwe risasi ya mguu, apelekwe hospitalini kisha kortini.
Wasimue lakini wapige mguu ivunjike, apelekwe kortini," the President said.
This loosely translates to, "Anyone who vandalises any property and attacks a police officer should be shot in the leg, taken to hospital and court of law.
