President William Ruto has stepped up criticism of Azimio leaders accusing them of paying gullible youth to fight with the police during the protests that rocked parts of the country.

Ruto said a somber mood has engulfed the country as families continue to mourn their loved ones killed during the protests which he said were sponsored to the tune of hundreds of millions.
