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.

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.

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.

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.
