Someone threw a shoe at Kenya's President Ruto during his speech in Migori County. Government officials want the person caught quickly. Ruto visited the area for three days to start new projects. The event raises worries about how safe public officials are in Kenya. Officials need better protection at these public events.
Some lawmakers call this a security failure, while others say it disrespects the president's office. People argue about what really happened—maybe it was just an accident. Some think it shows how unhappy people feel about money problems. News reports say police have caught three people, but police haven't said yes or no.
Kenyans have held protests since Ruto became president in 2022. Many cannot afford basic needs anymore, and they feel angry about higher taxes. The president faces growing pressure to fix these problems. The shoe incident might show just how fed up some citizens have become.
