President William Ruto has responded to protesters call for his resignation begging to know how they want him to go, a call meant to challenge their demand.
Speaking on Friday, the Head of State termed the chants as a waste of time and that as a President there is a term limit to it as enshrined in the constitution.
“If it is a question of terms, the Constitution has already sorted out and settled the issue of term limits. You can either be one or two-term… You cannot have more than that. So what is this craze about terms?

If it is Ruto must go, then tell me how you want me to go. What do you mean by Ruto must go? How do I go? Because we have a Constitution in place” he said
He continued by emphasizing the importance having a proper plan that will drive the country forward.
“If you want Ruto to go, look for a better plan. Violence will not, anarchy will not. It will not sort out our country. Let’s be honest with one another.
Do the honourable thing. Develop a better plan than the one I have—one that creates more jobs, lowers the cost of living, that creates more opportunities for the young people of Kenya,” he said. “You cannot replace a plan that is working that you do not like, with no plan.” he said
President William Ruto pleaded with those engaged in protest not to burn the country down saying that we only have one country.
“If we go this route, we will not have a country. And the country does not belong to William Ruto—it belongs to all of us. And if there is no country for William Ruto, there is no country for you,” he said
