As public scrutiny grows over the state of Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) operations and reports of outdated and broken equipment, President William Ruto has broken his silence, warning the public to steer clear of military affairs.
Speaking in Nakuru when he presided over the Cadets Commissioning Parade at the Kenya Military Academy in Lanet, Ruto indirectly appeared to be targeting recent reports questioning KDF Chief of Defence Forces General Charles Kahariri over his remarks on the constitutionality of the presidency.
Additionally, the President appeared to respond to recent media reports highlighting concerns over the condition of military choppers and aircraft.
The Head of State maintained that he would not allow the military to be subjected to public ridicule and criticism. President William Ruto presiding over the swearing-in ceremony of Chief of Defence Forces Charles Muriu Kahariri on May 3, 2024, at State House, Nairobi.
