 The vote on the controversial finance bill was marred by violence and resulted in loss of life and property.

This prompted the defense minister to deploy the army and President William Ruto to address the nation.

“Today’s events marked a critical turning point in how we respond to grave threats to our national security. 

"I assure the nation that the government has mobilized all resources at the nation's disposal to ensure that a situation of this nature will not recur again, at whatever cost,’’ Ruto said.
