President William Ruto has told off Opposition leader Raila Odinga over threats to return to protests.
Speaking on Thursday in Nyandarua County, Ruto said that Kenyans should not be subjected to demonstrations on issues that can be addressed in parliament.
"Hao wenzetu wasitutishe na maandamano. Kuna mambo mengine wabunge waliochanguliwa na waKenya wanaweza shugulikia... Msisumbue waKenya na maandamano, msisumbue watu na kuharibu mali zao."
This translates to; Our people from the other side should not threaten us with protests. There are issues that MPs can deliberate on and solve in Parliament. Don't disturb Kenyans with protests. Don't disturb them by destroying their property.
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua had earlier vowed to protect the property of Kenyans from destruction in case the protests begin.
"They (Azimio) are threatening to go back to the streets, no problem. The streets are there, they aren't going anywhere. We are here and we will go nowhere," Gachagua said
"But I want to say as I said, no one will destroy any property belonging to the people of Kenya. It will not happen. Whatever they want to do we are fine, no problem Lakini mali ya raia ipewe heshima," he added.
Opposition Chief and Azimio leader Raila Odinga on Monday warned that they will have to go back to demos if President Ruto fails to take them seriously.
Raila said that they are focused on the outcome of the truce and will not be swayed.
