President William Ruto has issued a rallying call to all Kenyans to stand behind the country’s police and security agencies, warning that peace, security, and stability are the very foundation of a functioning nation.
Speaking on June 24, 2025, the President emphasized the critical role of law enforcement in maintaining order and protecting citizens. “Without peace and security, without stability, we don’t have a nation. It’s just that simple,” Ruto stated during his address.
He praised the dedication of police officers across the country, saying their tireless efforts have ensured that Kenyans live in safety. “To our policemen and women, I want to say that as President, I am very proud of what our security agencies have done to secure our nation, protect property, and allow our families to sleep in peace,” he said.
The Head of State assured security personnel that his administration is fully committed to supporting them. He promised adequate infrastructure and resources to enable the police to perform their duties effectively and within the law. “To every police officer, from the man on the beat to senior leadership, I assure you that the government will stand by you as you protect our country,” he affirmed.
President Ruto also had strong words for those who criticise or attempt to undermine law enforcement. “To those who want to demean or intimidate our security agencies, I say you are doing the wrong thing,” he said. “Our security men and women deserve every support we can offer. We must work with them, not against them.”
He further urged all Kenyans, including political and community leaders, to respect and cooperate with the police. “As Kenyans, we must be clear about the direction we want to take and how we get there,” Ruto said.
In conclusion, the President appealed for national unity in supporting security forces, stressing that their role is indispensable in safeguarding Kenya’s future. “Let us support our police officers so they can secure our families, our properties, and our future as a nation,” he said.
