During a rally in Kehancha, Kenya, President William Ruto narrowly escaped injury when a shoe was thrown at him, symbolizing public frustration over rising living costs. This incident, caught on video, occurred while he discussed government efforts to address the high cost of living, a key concern for many Kenyans due to inflation and unexpected tax increases. Arrests have been made, and officials condemn the act as harmful to societal values, highlighting a broader unrest among Kenyans feeling overlooked by their leaders.
The shoe-throwing incident serves as a symbolic act of defiance, reflecting bottled-up anger over high inflation, tax hikes, and worsening economic conditions.
Government spokesperson Isaac Mwaura condemned the act, emphasizing the importance of peaceful discourse and the values we uphold in society.
