Mr Ruto described the blogger’s death as heartbreaking and unacceptable.
Mr Ruto was almost hit on his head by the shoe hurled at him by an unidentified person from the crowd as he addressed them in Swahili.
Mr Ruto announced that KSh 1 billion has been allocated to address classroom shortages in the country’s capital.
The police said the lack of a clear leader, mostly among the young protesters, made it difficult for the police to enforce safety protocols.
Mr Ayacko said, “When you shoot somebody who is running away, that does not look tidy.”
Since the protest broke out over a week ago, Kenyan police have shot dead about 25 protesters, abducting over 50 and injuring hundreds.
The human rights organisation said police continued shooting and killing of unarmed citizens into the night on Tuesday.
“I concede and therefore I will not sign the 2024 Finance Bill,” said Mr Ruto.
At least 10 persons were killed and close to 50 injured as Kenyan police opened live rounds on anti-Finance Bill protesters in Nairobi on Tuesday.
Not only did the government try to cover up police-related killings, but Kenyan authorities asked medical personnel to keep silent on deaths recorded from police brutality.
