Former Chief Justice David Maraga has denounced President William Ruto's recent directive encouraging police to shoot protesters accused of looting, warning of the dangers of state-sanctioned violence.

• More than 60 young people have been killed in recent unrest, according to Maraga.
• Maraga is a potential candidate for the 2027 General Election and advocates for addressing the root causes of unrest.
• The directive sparked outrage, particularly among the youth-led Gen Z movement, with calls for accountability and protests against state violence.
