"I recognise Ruto as the constitutionally elected president, as I support Raila's oversight crusade to protest the rising costs of living through non-violent mass action. Ruto is turning even a disciplined National Youth Service Paramilitary Academy pass out parade to a ranting fora," he said. 

The ODM leader has led the Azimio coalition in anti-government protests since the beginning of the year.

Raila has held anti-government rallies in Kamukunji and Jacaranda and Jeevanjee gardens in Nairobi.
