THE DEEP STATE

It controls the flow of the information. It retains power for its own gain.

THE DEEP STATE
Share on FacebookShare on WhatsAppShare on Twitter

The term deep state has become a common word during political rallies, political discussions and political analysis.


Many Kenyans probably heard about it during the burial of the late Kipyegon Kenei when Deputy President talked about it.


Oburu Odinga also talked with expensive pride on how his brother is having the support of the deep state.


Some political analysts including Professor Herman Manyora have been opining that former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has never been president of the Republic of Kenya because he lacked the support of the deep state.


“Deep State” is in the prospect of Kenyans as a bogey since it is scaring political bigwigs. Kenyans should therefore have all it takes to be skeptical about this clandestine organization.


When a conversation about the deep state start, there are a lot of questions that people ask themselves.


One of the questions is, how can an organization that is not constitutionally recognized have power over the rest of the Kenyans yet Kenya is a democratic country?


How is it thriving in a democratic country?


In his book The Deep State, Jason Chaffetz describes the deep state as, a vast, self-perpetuating bureaucracy whose main aim is singular: to exist again tomorrow and the day after, to replicate itself, to be indestructible and nearly impossible to disrupt.


It controls the flow of the information. It retains power for its own gain.


Another question is, can the deep state be defeated?


On 14 October 1974, elections were held in Kenya. The biggest surprise was when Foreign Affairs Minister Njoroge Mungai, a member of the so called “Kiambu Mafia” lost his Dagoretti seat.


Njoroge Mungai lost his seat to Dr. Johnstone Muthiora. Mungai was later nominated to Parliament in 1975.


Currently, as Kenyans are working on the 2022 political matrix, Kenyans are keen on seeing what these “faceless” people will do.


I said faceless because their operations are carried out in a surreptitious manner.


They don’t like exposure, they work the system for their advantage and therefore don’t like disrupting forces.
