President William Ruto has expressed that he is ready to step down from office on condition that those opposing his plan for governance and want to succeed him show him a better plan for the country.
He spoke on Friday, June 27, during the World MSME Day in Nairobi as he condemned the recent demonstrations held on Wednesday, June 25, describing them as a deliberate attempt to incite chaos and destabilise the nation.
The Head of State argued that what occurred on that day could not be classified as legitimate protests, but rather acts of hooliganism masked as peaceful marches.
Ruto also firmly rejected mounting demands for his resignation, challenging the agenda behind the “Ruto Must Go” slogan, and called on his critics to propose a clear and constructive alternative instead of simply calling for his ouster.

He maintained that criticism of his leadership should be based on solid ideas rather than mere opposition, emphasising that those demanding his resignation had failed to present any viable solutions.
"If it is Ruto must go, then tell me how you want me to go. What do you mean by Ruto must go? Look for a better plan and convince the people of Kenya," he said.
"You cannot replace a plan you don’t like with no plan. The only thing you are armed with is hate and violence, and you want us to agree with you? There are very few fools in Kenya.
President Ruto expressed deep disappointment over the burning of buildings and the looting of businesses, noting that investments worth billions were destroyed within hours.
He stated that the greatest casualties of this week’s protests were hardworking traders and entrepreneurs, who woke up only to find their livelihoods reduced to ashes.
Ruto went on to accuse certain opposition politicians of allegedly inciting young Kenyans to join the demonstrations, warning that those behind the Wednesday protests would face severe consequences.
To guarantee justice for those affected, the President directed Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja to fast-track investigations and arrest all individuals involved in the recent acts of vandalism and looting.
"The perpetrators of violence, looting, and destruction during the June 25 protests must be identified and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, swiftly and decisively," Ruto ordered.
“I expect the Inspector General of Police and all relevant security agencies to conduct immediate, thorough, and speedy investigations into the violent protests on June 25."
