Barely days after President Dr William Samoei Ruto made the famous claim that the Anti-Finance Bill 2024 protestors were being financed by the Ford Foundation, the organisation has issued a statement disassociating itself from the demos.
In a statement dated Monday 15 July 2024 the foundation said it does not support instability in Kenya.
The Ford Foundation has been thrust into the centre of attention following President William Ruto’s allegations that the American non-governmental organisation has been ‘sponsoring’ violence during the anti-government protests.
President Ruto on Monday told a market rally in Nakuru the foundation hired goons to cause mayhem during the youth-led nationwide protests which saw police shoot dead unarmed Kenyans and injured others, abductions, destruction of property and looting of businesses.
“I challenge the Ford Foundation to tell us the money they have been giving out towards violence, what is the benefit in that?” Askedlittre
“We are going to tell them if they are not interested in democracy in Kenya; if they are going to sponsor violence and anarchy, we are going to call them out and tell them they either style up or leave.”
