Ruto further said he is a busy man, adding he is currently focusing on reviving the economy, eradicating hunger and mitigating drought. 

"I am busy, if you people have time, you can go and open the servers, I am busy working on Hustler Fund, Women Enterprise Fund and food distribution," he said. 

He further said the opposition has the right to handle their matters as long as they are within the law. 

"We will not do what you want, I will ensure this country is rooted within the law, don't waste your time, whatever it is that the law allows, you do it," he said. 

In February, Raila Odinga demanded the opening of the IEBC server and an audit conducted using a reputable firm.

"Failure to which, we shall lead the people to restore their authority and voice," he said.

He said the ongoing process of reconstituting IEBC must also stop immediately and a bipartisan team put in place to restructure the electoral body in a manner that ends its monolithic operations.

"If these demands are not heeded within 14 days we shall lead Kenyans into mass action across the country to have their power back and restore their country," Raila said.
