President William Ruto has maintained that impunity will not be part of the country's political discourse.

Speaking on Tuesday in Berlin when he met Kenyans living in Germany, Ruto said all Kenyans must submit to the rule of law.

"That is what makes us equal. Nobody should trample on the rights of others," he said. 

He added that he will ensure everyone's life, property and business is protected.

"We have deliberately offered the police operational and financial independence to work. It is their duty to ensure that everyone adheres to the rule of law," he said. 

Ruto said it is incumbent upon the Inspector General of Police to decide on how to secure Kenya.

He further said the government will leverage its diverse, rich and skilled human capital to ensure Kenya shines globally.

"Negotiations are on the table with countries such as Germany to eliminate red tape so that our human capital can be utilised," he added.
