Ruto goes to war with the media and attacks ‘deep state’

For the past four years William Ruto has told his supporters how he doesn’t believe the deep state exists, and even if it did, his coalition with the people would surmount the hurdles planted in his way.

“They are threatening us that there’s a system, a deep state, that there are people who will rig us out even if you [Kenyans] vote in whatever manner […],”Ruto said in 2021. “We are waiting for those people, we are waiting for that deep state.”
