"Even if they sponsor demonstrations so that they don't pay taxes, I want to promise them, they will pay tax. There is no more exception," Ruto said.

Raila has held two anti-Ruto protests, where he claimed he was the winner of the polls.

The ODM leader said Ruto should leave the State House so that he can occupy it.

"Accept that you were defeated in the election, leave State House for Baba to get in," he said.

"We are speaking the truth, we do not want war, and we do not want threats. We have our rights as Kenyans, and they can not be snatched by a hawk, Kenyans deserve a leader that they elected."
