No Protest Will Happen on June 25, Schools and Work Will Continue – Ruto

President William Ruto has said that normal activities will continue across the country on June 25, insisting that schools, businesses and workplaces should remain open despite fears of possible protests.

Speaking on Friday during the National Productivity and Performance Conference at State House in Nairobi, Ruto said Kenyans have a constitutional right to demonstrate, but stressed that protests should be peaceful and should not interfere with normal life or destroy property.

The President maintained that Kenya is a country guided by law and order and called on citizens to uphold peace as the country approaches the anniversary of the June 25 anti-government protests.

“No protest will happen on June 25. Children will go to school, workers will go to work and businesses will open,” Ruto said.

He warned against any actions that could lead to chaos, violence or disruption of economic activities, saying the country must remain focused on development and productivity.

According to the Head of State, workers and business owners should be able to operate in a safe environment without fear of instability.

His remarks come at a time when there is growing debate and political tension ahead of the June 25 anniversary, which has previously been marked by demonstrations in different parts of the country.

Meanwhile, the United States Embassy in Nairobi has advised its citizens to remain alert due to the possibility of protests in major towns, including Nairobi. The embassy warned that demonstrations could occur without notice and may cause traffic disruptions and increased security presence.

Ruto also urged Kenyans to embrace productivity and economic growth, saying people should use lawful means such as petitions and peaceful demonstrations to express their concerns, but warned that destruction of property and incitement to violence would not be tolerated.
