Opposition leader Raila Odinga has urged President William Ruto to avoid discussing Kenya's political concerns with the outside world.
Odinga asserted that the IEBC servers must be unsealed to ascertain who, between him and President Ruto, won the 2022 presidential election during a meeting with the Nubian Community in Nairobi.
"Ruto doesn't need to travel to Germany and start promoting Raila there. Come over here so we can chat. Raila commanded the server to be opened so that we could view what was on it".
He also urged the international world to refrain from interfering with Kenya's democracy, arguing that Kenya can resolve its own issues.

"We have requested that the world community give us the space to address our problems as a Kenyan people. We do not need other nations to teach us about democracy. We can resolve our problems the Kenyan manner because we are Kenyans, he remarked".
Before, President Ruto had said that the weekly protests organized by the head of the opposition, Raila Odinga, had nothing to do with the cost of living and everything to do with the outcome of the 2022 presidential election.
In an interview with Germany's Deutsche Welle (DW), President Ruto charged that Odinga was using protests to obtain a portion of the government illegally.
"The living expense isn't the main cause of the riots in Nairobi. The president of Kenya remarked, "I think the people of Kenya are a lot smarter. It is so much about some election results, which are settled, but because the cost of living is a pregnant and emotive issue, our competitors are trying to take advantage".
Accusing President Ruto of stealing the election from the previous year and of failing to rein in the rising cost of living, the seasoned politician has called for continuous protests every Monday and Thursday.
"The opposition wants to talk about an election that took place nearly six months ago. An election that received a perfect score from the EU, AU, and every observer. an election that was observed by local and international observers. That discussion is not permitted by the Constitution", according to Ruto.
Yet, the Head of State remarked that his government is dedicated to tackling the problems caused by the high cost of living.
"We have had difficulties acquiring fertilizer and grain, so we have had to rethink our agriculture and how we do things differently so that we avoid dependence on the global supply chain of these commodities," said Ruto.
President William Ruto is travelling to Germany and Belgium for business.
The demonstrators disregarded a warning from Kenya's Inspector General of Police Japhet Koome on Monday, who said that the protests in Nairobi and Kisumu, Odinga's stronghold, were "illegal."
When the protests began last week, at least four people died, and millions of dollars worth of property destruction took place
