President William Ruto has accused the Ford Foundation, among other local and foreign organizations, of fueling anti-government protests in Kenya.

Speaking in Nakuru on Monday, President Ruto said the government is closely monitoring the activities of these organizations.

He cautioned the youth against being manipulated by those aiming to destabilize the country amid recent chaotic protests.

“Those who are behind the sponsoring of chaos in Kenya, shame on them because they are sponsoring violence against our democratic nation.

I want to ask the people at the Ford Foundation, what do they gain from giving out money to cause violence?” Ruto questioned.

Stern Warning

The President further warned the American organization against allegedly sponsoring unrest in Kenya.

According to the President, Kenya would request the Ford Foundation to leave the country if they continue to support the protests.

“We are going to call them out and we are going to tell them if they are not interested in democracy in Kenya.

If they are going to sponsor violence and anarchy, we are going to tell them they either style up or they leave,” President Ruto added.

These accusations follow reports that the police are investigating six politicians, two Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), and a businessman suspected of financing the protests.

The three weeks of protests erupted in response to widespread discontent with the now-withdrawn Finance Bill, 2024, and President Ruto’s leadership.

Tuesday, July 16, 2024 has also been earmarked for nationwide protests as Kenyans demand for justice for those killed during anti-tax protests in June.
