Ruto: There is Nothing Like 'Deep State' or 'System' in Kenya
Deputy President William Ruto has denied the existence of the so-called ‘deep state’ and ‘system’ within government.
The deputy president says he has been part of the government since 2013 and has never seen the impact of the deep state—an alleged group of powerful people believed to be involved in the secret manipulation or control of the government.
“There is nothing like deep state or system. If there was such a thing, I would know because I am the Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya,” Ruto said during an interview on Citizen TV.
If the deep state existed, Ruto says, the Supreme Court would not have nullified the 2017 presidential election, neither would his UDA party win the Kiambaa, Juja, and Msambweni parliamentary by-elections.
“Could we have won Kiambaa by-election if there was the deep state, will the court have nullified our election with president Kenyatta in 2017?” he posed.
Ruto, who is seeking to succeed President Kenyatta next year, also dismissed talks of the deep state as just sideshows meant to distract his bid for the presidency.
He expressed confidence that he will trounce Raila Odinga in the 2022 presidential contest despite the support the ODM leader enjoys from President Kenyatta and government operatives.

Lootall was in the forefront of mudslinging uhuru raila moi and the rich or well up as dynasties and depicting himself as a pauper and the waited saviour of the underpreviledged.Now that he has realized his one man race is tumbling down like the tower of babel where he used to claim deep state,system n dynasties were after him not becoming president he is now changing tune to join the many which is welcome but first may he also tell us how will cleanse on his ill gotten wealth from the public then we can believe in him.
True Mr. President! My fellow Mwakilishians, here’s our next president for the next 10 years. Huyo mwingine sinui tinga, sijui chungwa ama pineapple hafana my mwakilishi friends
Here comes the confused Limuru mai muhakuri! A fake kenya cna. You have no friends in Mwakilishi! Wacha ujinga! Wewe kubafu.
Kihii wewe. Kwenda utahiri kwanza! I don’t or need friends here at mwakilishi. Also, I would never want a kihii friend like you. How’s that
Thank you for letting the whole world know your circumcision status down in your dirty trousers!
That all that baby boy toddler talk you are still a kihii. You must really smell bad you poor idiot.
@Margaret, tombwa akili na babako
Tunataka Kenya mpya isiyo na mambo ya rushwa na kuongea mambo ya dini za kigeni kila wakati.
Dini inatokana na lugha, mila, na historia ya watu.
Dini za kigeni nchini ni za watu ambao wamepigwa msasa (brainwashed) na wala hawajui na kutambua ya kwamba tayari wamepigwa msasa.
Dini mbili kubwa katika nchi ya Kenya ni dini za kigeni ambazo wafuasi wake walihusika na kuwanunua na kuwauza wafrika utumwani. Hata sasa, wangali wakibaguliwa na kuteswa huko walikouzwa.
Hatutaki mambo ya rushwa tena 2022. Hebu tazama!

Ruto is now double speaking after years of calling Uhuru the deep state. No one can trust Ruto!
THIS DUDE IS DEEP STATE SINCE 1992
MOI MAFIA 1992
Ruto has the all the signs of a street born kid! No wonder he was born to a fatherless mother. He is an idiot. This guy is very insecure in his own skin!?
I thought Ruto’s father was a chicken thief as well? His father was as mannerless as Ruto himself.
So it’s the case of a bad apple falling on the base of the apple tree! A different monkey roaming the same forest stealing everything in that bush!
It will surely get worse if Kenyans are stupid enough to elect Ruto as the Kenya’s president! Just be warned before you commit political suicide.
Very fake individual also a Cristian hypocrites
Yes, he is both of above.
All this looter talks about is deep state

Such a liar.
The fool is deeply confused! He doesn’t know who he is, what he has said before and the time he said it! I just hope all Kenyans are not as confused and this man!
Short memory he, Mr LootAll PhD plant biology he didn't do himselfu, has. Fortunately the evidence is easy to find on the Web. Deep state, my foot.
Ruto is now even confused about himself! He is the deep state.
Ndugu Keter Mjumbe wa Bunge anguruma na kuwajulisha wananchi juu ya Makamu wa Rais Ndugu Samoei na tabia zake za ajabu na za kutisha mno:

You have heard from the first claimant of the deep state! Now he says “deep state” does not exist! But yesterday when he was visiting Itumbi, Ruto claimed that “deep state” beat his boy!
So who beat Itumbi? The thugs that he owes drug money! Yes that’s right!
This is the beginning of UHURU and RUTOs plan. UHURU will definitely support RUTO.
They are just playing games with RAILA.
I know you like being a contrarian. But please try to make sense. If there is a plan, expound on the plan.
This is what i've been thinking all along. Someone had to be tamed to ensure smooth running of govt. lol
Naye Ndugu yetu Gavana wa Masaku Ndugu Mutua anapinga vikali pesa za ajabu kutolewa makanisani ovyo bila kujulikana asili yake. Hebu msikie akiwika:
