President William Ruto broke his silence with a televised speech. He denounced the Gen Z protests as acts of terrorism but directed them as dissent, explaining that he would not end Kenyan democracy. He also promised that his administration was determined to protect lives and property. His tone was a mix between a somewhat stern speech and a conciliatory one, striking a balance between national security and a listening ear towards Gen Z.
