The leader of the Orange Democratic Movement, Raila Amollo Odinga has finally, at least publicly, addressed the purported deep state that is allegedly bent on making sure Deputy President doesn’t ascend to the highest seat in the country.
In a press briefing on Thursday, Odinga said he holds no position in government and is therefore not aware of the existence of a so-called ‘Deep State’.

Ruto on Tuesday accused the group of erecting roadblocks on his State House bid and dared them to bring it on.
“Ati iko watu watatuibia kura hata mkipiga kura namna gani, kuna watu wamekaa mahali fulani wataamua, hawa watu tunawangojea hiyo deep state tunangojea, hiyo system tunangojea, watakuja na system sisi tunakuja na watu na mwenyezi mungu,” said DP Ruto.
Raila Odinga’s elder brother Oburu Odinga had last week implied that they were finally assured of winning the 2022 election since the so-called system was now on their side, statements that sparked the fire within the deputy president’s camp.
“Why have we not gone to State House when we have won the presidency before? It’s because there is something we have been missing. That thing is called system. And now we are with Uhuru Kenyatta who is holding the system,” said Oburu.
The ODM leader maintains that those were Oburu Odinga’s personal sentiments.
