On Friday, July 5, President William Ruto ordered the prosecution of the alleged killer cop, who was reportedly caught on camera shooting at peaceful protesters.
The Head of State, while addressing Kenyans on his X space, urged those with information about the alleged cop to report it to the nearest security office.
The president vowed that if the alleged killer cop is found guilty of the heinous acts of brutality, he will face severe consequences.
“The police officer who is roaming, I want the exact details of him, I will apprehend him and he will be dealt with per the law,” President William Ruto directed.
The journalist who was directly shot by the Killer cop says that he has been getting threatening messages.

According to Ruto, those who have the footage, pictures, and other evidence also share them with his inbox.
While speaking to Kenyans on the X space, Ruto promised to take action against alleged police abductions and mistreatment of suspects arrested in anti-government demonstrations.
The Head of State urged families whose relatives were still missing to file complaints for tracing.
“After this engagement, I would like, in a secretive way, to send me the details of what happened, I will take action because you don’t deserve what you went through,” Ruto told popular X user Osama Otero over his abduction claims.
“The era of extrajudicial killings is not with us. It is something I will exercise my mind on as the police have a stipulated procedure on how they arrest people,” Ruto added.
The president also dismissed claims that over 200 people died on Tuesday, June 18, in Githurai 44.
“Can the family members of these 200 people come forward and say they lost loved ones? 200 people who went to protest and did not come back?” Ruto questioned.
“I will never say anything that is not factual about people losing lives,” according to him.
