This as Interior Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho rubbished Ruto's claim that there exists a 'deep state' in Kenya seeking to block his ascension to power. The 'system' or the 'deep state' is believed to refer to powerful bureaucrats, political operatives and tycoons that informally control the State. But speaking on Spice FM on Wednesday, Kibicho said he is yet to understand what 'deep state' is. Kibicho said there is no 'deep state', adding that the government is structured in a manner that everyone can see. "Raila is a living example of a leader who built a massive national political force but was outwitted by the deep state,” Wainaina said.
