On Wednesday, President William Ruto made fun of Raila Odinga's planned anti-government demonstrations on Mondays and Thursdays.
The leader of the Azimio group announced on Tuesday that protests would occur every Monday and Thursday. He insists they will only stop if President William Ruto complies with their requests.
In a brief, humorous statement on Wednesday, the Head of State expressed confidence that the days above would soon surpass others as the days with the most trades on the Nairobi Stock Exchange in a brief, humorous statement on Wednesday.
"I am looking forward to days in the near future when we will be announcing every Monday and every Thursday to be the days that were traded highest in the Nairobi Stock Exchange," he remarked as the congregation erupted in laughter.

President Ruto reaffirmed his commitment to strengthening the country's economic might, a goal he will tenaciously defend until it is achieved.
He promised that the government would take decisive action to ensure that nobody would "impunity, lawlessness, and disruption" hold the economy hostage.
He declared that no justification exists for anyone to obstruct free enterprise, interfere with commerce, or undermine economic activity for selfish reasons.
To uphold Kenya's promises of a free market economy, "Such impunity must be dealt with sternly and full responsibility enforced."
He also promised to foster a good atmosphere for all Kenyans to operate in and allow them to run successful enterprises.
He added that the business and investment environment in Kenya is safe and supportive long-term.
"We have the obligation to make sure that every employee and hustler, from the mama mboga, MSME, to the global multinational enterprise operating in Kenya, enjoys a conducive atmosphere to accomplish their ambitions without hindrance."
The Head of State stated that the administration aims to offer reliable investment opportunities for domestic and foreign investors to revive inactive Central Depository investor accounts.
