In the face of mounting pressure against him and his allies, Deputy President William Ruto has declared he would defeat the ‘deep state’ out to ensure his political downfall.

Ruto said yesterday he would not bow to machinations by the ‘system’ that he claimed was determined to ensure he doesn’t succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta in 2022.
