President William Ruto  has warned  the alleged ploters  of Tuesday, June 25 Occupy Parliament protests.

Protesters broke into police barriers and entered Parliament where they set one section on fire.

The protesters also damaged the kitchen area where they served themselves food meant for the legislators.

Ruto said its his constitutional responsibility to protect Kenya’s constitutional order.

The President termed the breach of Parliament and the damage done by as a treasonous act.

“Today events mark a critical point on how we respond to threats to our peace,”

“We will ensure a situation of this nature does nor recur again.” He said.

Ruto said he will ensure that the situation will never happen again.

He said his government will treat every threat to national security as an existential threat to Kenya.

Ruto warned actors in such threats will be viewed as treasonous.

“It is very painful for Kenya that a conversation this crucial was hijacked by dangerous people,”

“It is not so that criminals pretending to be peaceful protestors can raise terror against the people – and expect to go scot-free.” He added.
