Three people were arrested in connection with the attack, which has been interpreted as a sign of growing dissatisfaction with Ruto’s leadership, especially amid rising taxes and inflation. The shoe, which struck Ruto’s arm, prompted swift action from his security team. The incident comes after a series of protests against Ruto’s economic policies, which have sparked unrest across the country. Authorities are investigating the incident further.
