Ruto and Oburu seem not to have a full and clear picture of what constitutes the 'deep state' or the system. The 'deep state' is believed to be a clandestine network entrenched inside the government, bureaucracy, intelligence agencies and other governmental entities. The origins of the term 'deep state' are from the secretive Turkish network known as derin devlet. Ruto may have the benefit of what he considers government network experience but his experience with the 'deep state' may only be skin deep. Kenyans should, therefore, not be deluded that Ruto is capable of defeating the 'deep state' because it can never come out to fight him.
