Women leaders affiliated with the Kenya Kwanza coalition on Monday commenced a nationwide campaign calling for a cease in the anti-government protests.
The women leaders led by National Assembly Speaker Gladys Boss and Deputy Majority Whip, Naomi Waqo, urged the youths to halt the protests and embrace dialogue.
While speaking during a visit to Marsabit County, the women politicians emphasised the significance of a peaceful nation, citing that violence affected a majority of women and children.
According to the women lawmakers, President William Ruto’s administration was ready to engage the youth in conversation and address their issues.
"Ruto has a good plan for Kenyans, let us support him to continue with his work," commented Gladys Boss Sholei.
The leaders exuded confidence in President Ruto's call for a national conversation stating, that the Head of State meant well for the youth and women of the country.
Among the other women leaders present were Faith Gitau, Betty Maina, Beatrice Adagala, Leah Sankaire, and Liza Chelule.
The campaign against the anti-government protests came hardly days after youths across the country took to the streets to demonstrate against Ruto's administration.
During heightened protests, the demonstrators accused the Head of State of failing to fulfill promises he made to Kenyans during his swearing-in as president.
In the wake of the demonstrations, President Ruto was forced to take drastic measures including withdrawing the contentious Finance Bill that proposed a raft of tax measures.
The president also dismissed nearly all his cabinet secretaries and announced the resignation of the Inspector General of the Police, Japhet Koome.
He also went ahead to hold a conversation with the protesting youth through an X space where the young generation was able to raise its grievances.
