President William Ruto claims that protesters who stormed Parliament on Tuesday targeted the armoury and the musoleum.

In a roundtable interview with the media from State House on Sunday, Ruto, who maintained that those who invaded parliament were criminals, stated that they had an agenda to invade the armoury and the musoleum, indicating that they were organised and had a target.

"How did the criminals know there was an armoury and a mausoleum in Parliament?" "They went straight for the armoury and musoleum, indicating they were organised criminals," Ruto said.

He insisted that his administration would conduct thorough investigations and track down the criminals who invaded and torched Parliament, the Judiciary, and Nairobi County Government offices.

The president also denied that he has blood on his hands for the deaths of 24 people during the protests, saying that his government will look into the deaths.

When pressed to explain the abduction of former Nandi Hills MP Alfred Keter on Sunday, Ruto claimed that Kater had ignored a summons to appear before the police.

He referred to a statement by DCI that Keter was arrested for alleged firearms laundering.
