Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>President William Ruto has said he is still seeking answers on why protesters wear sufurias on their heads during demonstrations.<\/p>\n

Ruto questioned how wearing metallic cooking pots on the head will help lower the cost of living.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t seen a plan from those who sometimes correct us. The only plan I have seen from them is to put sufurias on heads. I\u2019m still asking myself how wearing sufurias on heads will reduce the cost of living. But I haven\u2019t been told, I\u2019m still waiting for answers,\u201d Ruto said.<\/p>\n

He was speaking in Kiambu County on Thursday where he joined worshippers at ACK St James Cathedral where he laid the foundation stone for the church.<\/p>\n

He assured Kenyans that his regime has a plan to change the country and move it forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a historic opportunity as a nation to change the destiny of Kenya. I want to assure Kenyans that we will do that with all hard work,\u201d Ruto said.<\/p>\n

However, Azimio leader Raila Odinga has defended his call for protests saying there is nothing wrong with that.<\/p>\n

He said the only thing that is not right is police brutality during demonstrations.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Thursday at the Devolution Conference, he responded to Uasin Gishu Governor Jonathan Bii’s remarks, who said they had their maandamano in the farms, as the opposition was in the streets with sufurias on their heads.<\/p>\n

Raila fired back at Bii’s remarks noting that he should be aware that even the constitution is a result of the maandamano.<\/p>\n

“I want to refer to what the Governor just said that they are expecting a bumper harvest because they did maandamano in the farms instead of the streets with sufurias on their head. I want to tell him that the katiba we have today is a product of maandamano,” Raila said.<\/p>\n

The Azimio leader further said that if maandamano can bring a solution to those affected by the Finland fiasco then it was okay.<\/p>\n
