President William Ruto has thrown a jab at opposition leader Raila Odinga following the announcement of new demonstration days.
Speaking during the listing of the Laptrust Imara in Westlands, Ruto said he was looking forward to the days when Monday and Thursday are the highest traded days in Nairobi Security Exchange.
"I am looking forward to the days in the very near future when we will be reporting that every Monday and every Thursday to be the days that were traded highest in the NSE," he said.
He also said there is no reason whatsoever for anyone to stand in the way of free enterprise and disrupt business or sabotage economic activity for personal interest.
"Such impunity must be dealt with firmly and full accountability enforced to vindicate Kenya’s commitments as a free market economy," he said.
The President also assured business owners and investors that the country is secure and conducive for trading.
"Through the rule of law, the government will take robust measures to honour and respect the rights of all and demonstrate that no one is above the law by decisively combating impunity, lawlessness and disorder," he said.
On Tuesday, Raila announced that his team will from next week commence two-day demonstrations until their demands are met by the government.
"On the second phase we will begin protests on Monday and Thursday starting next week," he said.
Speaking in Kamukunji on Monday, Raila said the mass action will not end until Kenyans get what is rightfully theirs.
"Tumeanza vita. Kila jumatatu kutakuwa na mgomo. Kutakuwa na maandamano. Vita imeanza haitaisha mpaka wakenya wapate haki yao," Raila said.
