Concerns are mounting over President William Ruto's perceived inaction and silence in the face of rising political violence and the activities of "goons" across Kenya.

• Recent violent incidents occurred in Nyahururu and Kisumu, resulting in 2 deaths, with no statement from the President for over 24 hours.
• Deputy President Kithure Kindiki acknowledged the violence on his X page, but President Ruto has remained largely silent, with infrequent directives.
• The President's last public directive on the matter was on 19th June, following the disruption of a meeting at All Saints Cathedral, Nairobi.
