Three Arrested After Shocking Shoe Attack on Kenyan President Ruto, Reports Say
Police are investigating whether the incident which happened during Sunday's public address in Migori County was an isolated one or a planned security breach, local media reported.
Preliminary findings reportedly suggest the attack may have been politically motivated and premeditated.
The incident has provoked widespread public condemnation.
"Throwing a shoe at the President is not a protest; it's provocation. I strongly condemn the unfortunate incident in Migori. This disgraceful act by a lone agitator does not reflect the values or aspirations of Kenyans," Nairobi County Member of the National Assembly Esther Passaris said on X.
