International media calls out President RUTO for directing police to shoot looters during protests in the leg (VIDEO)

Thursday, July 10, 2025 - The Kenyan President has been called out by international media over his directive to police to shoot those who are found looting during protests in the leg.

President William Ruto issued the order on Wednesday, July 9^th, during the launch of a police housing project in Kilimani.

“Anyone who burns down someone else’s business and property, let them be shot in the leg and go to the hospital as they head to court.”

“Let them not kill, but shoot and break the legs,” he declared.

His remarks come in the wake of national grief over the deaths of dozens of youth during the Saba Saba protests.

The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) recently confirmed at least 31 protest-related deaths and over 100 injuries.

Below is a how the German-based media house DW covered the controversial directive.
