Former prime minister Raila Amollo Odinga has dismissed claims of deputy president William Ruto about ‘deep state’ trying to hinder his accession to power come 2022.
The ODM leader made it clear he doesn’t work for the government or hold any government office and so he isn’t aware of any deep state.
“As you know, where I am I hold no position in the government of the Republic of Kenya. Kenya is led by the President whose name you know and his deputy whose name you also know. So if you are talking about the ‘deep State’, who is there? It’s the president and his deputy,” said Odinga.
“Go and ask Mr Deputy President which deep State is talking about… we are not in government as ODM. So we don’t know about this deep state.”
‘Deep State’ in Kenya is a political group believed to have a great influence on who takes up influential positions; they bankroll individuals they support but also make decisions that influence governance and development initiatives.
