Raila declared plans to have a mass protest on Wednesday.
He said December 7, will mark the start of a series of consultations on the state of the nation, following the removal of the commissioners.
"We want to ask Kenyans if they are happy with the way things are happening," Raila said.
The Azimio leader said the first rally will be held at Kamkunji Grounds in Nairobi and the second will be held at the same venue on December 12.
This is the day Ruto is expected to lead the country in the Mashujaa Day celebrations.
However, the Head of State said his administration will not block the Azimio leader from going to the streets, so long as the demonstrations do not degenerate into destruction of property.
“I have asked Interior CS Kithure Kindiki to ask Azimio to give him their schedule of demonstrations, so that we can provide enough security. They can demonstrate everyday, once a week, every month,” Ruto said.
“You will not blackmail or threaten the people of Kenya. We are busy implementing our plan to develop Kenya and empower the people.”
Police have yet to comment on Raila’s planned rallies.
