President William Ruto has ordered a crackdown on anti-Finance Bill protesters, terming the protests “treasonous”. Addressing a press briefing at State House, Nairobi last evening, the president said “dangerous people” were behind the demonstrations that saw Parliament breached by protesters. He congratulated the police for their conduct during the protests, saying they acted “to the best of their ability”. Former President Uhuru Kenyatta, who said he was coming to Kenyans “with a heavy heart”, urged calm and restraint from Kenya’s leadership and called on his predecessor to listen to Kenyans. Many Kenyans reported low internet speeds, with network providers saying the situation was caused by damage to two underwater fibre optic cables.
