Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i has hit out at  Deputy President William Ruto and defended the Government over the ‘Deep State’ narrative.

In hard-hitting remarks, Dr Matiang’i also defended President Uhuru Kenyatta’s decision to publicly support ODM leader Raila Odinga, saying the President has a democratic right to support a leader of his choice.
