Senior Advocate Macharia Njeru has accused President William Ruto of setting a tone of lawlessness for the rest of government, saying Kenya's leadership lacks the political will to uphold the rule of law.

Speaking during an interview on Spice FM on Wednesday, July 15, Njeru said obeying the law is not the problem, leadership simply has no intention of doing so.

"It starts from the top, that is the President. When you have a President overseeing a country where breaking the law has become the order of the day, that becomes the cue that has been set even for those below him," he explained.
