President William Ruto lashed out on Wednesday at Raila Odinga's planned anti-government protests on Mondays and Thursdays.

On Tuesday, the Azimio leader said that demonstrations will resume next week on Mondays and Thursdays, and that they will continue until President William Ruto responds to their requests.

 

In a brief remark on Wednesday, the Head of State expressed optimism that the aforementioned days will soon become the days with the most trades on the Nairobi Stock Exchange.

 

"I am looking forward to the days in the near future when we will be reporting every Monday and every Thursday to be the days that were traded the most on the Nairobi Stock Exchange," he remarked, as the gathering laughed.

 

Ruto also threatened to deal with people attempting to stymie the nation's economic progress while presiding the listing of Laptrust Reit on the Nairobi Stock Exchange.

 

President Ruto reaffirmed his commitment to bolstering the nation's economic might, a vision he will zealously pursue.

 

He stated unequivocally that the government will take strong measures to ensure that no individual holds the economy hostage by instilling "impunity, lawlessness, and disruption."

 

"There is no justification for anyone to obstruct free enterprise, disrupt business, or undermine economic activity for personal gain," he stated.

 

"To fulfil Kenya's pledges as a free market economy, such impunity must be dealt with sternly and full responsibility enforced."

 

He also promised to build a favourable economic environment for all Kenyans to operate in, one that will encourage everyone to run lucrative enterprises.

 

"I also want to reaffirm my promise that Kenya's business and investment environment is stable and conducive on a long-term basis," he said.

 

"We have a responsibility to ensure that every worker and hustler, from the mama mboga to the global multinational enterprise operating in Kenya, has an unfettered environment in which to accomplish their aims."

 

The President of State further stated that the government intends to create stable investment grounds for local and international investors in order to reactivate the country's inactive Central Depository investor accounts.
