NAIROBI, July 14 (Reuters) - Kenyan President William Ruto vowed on Friday that protests planned next week would not be allowed following two rounds of demonstrations that have left at least 15 people dead. Opposition leader Raila Odinga's party called earlier in the day for three more days of protests from next Wednesday against tax hikes that Ruto signed into law last month. You cannot look for the leadership of this country using the blood of the citizens, the death of the citizens and the destruction of property," Ruto said at the opening of a road in the town of Naivasha.

NAIROBI, March 11 (Reuters) - Kenya's President William Ruto has appointed Susan Koech, a career banker who has also worked in top government posts, to be the second deputy governor of the central bank, his spokesperson said. The post had been unoccupied for more than five years after Ruto's predecessor failed to fill it when its previous occupant left. The bank has been led by Governor Patrick Njoroge and one deputy, Sheila M'mbijiwe. Hussein Mohamed, Ruto's spokesperson, said on Twitter late on Friday Ruto had made the appointment, using a legal notice. Neither the central bank nor the previous government had ever commented on the vacancy for the second deputy.

Asked about the peaceful proceedings, Ruto said that the situation has been improving since 2007, and the next election will be even better. Amanpour later asked whether outgoing President Uhuru Kenyatta, who supported Odinga's election bid despite Ruto being his vice-president, had been in touch since the election. "Unfortunately, President Kenyatta has not seen it fit to congratulate me," he said. Amanpour later quizzed Ruto on human rights, particularly his previous comments that there was "no room" for homosexuality in Kenyan society. Amanpour also pressed Ruto on his controversial promise to deport Chinese people from Kenya, but the President-elect argued that he had been taken out of context.
