The Kenyan deep state is not yet well documented here -- only a few agents of influence have been identified. Of note is that in contrast to nearby Burundi and Tanzania, the government cooperated with the SDS' official narrative about Covid.

COVID-19
The country appeared to have worked in Lockstep with the official line on the COVID-19 event. "Kenya also introduced far-reaching “vaccine certificates”, despite a reportedly very high infection rate and a very low vaccination rate."[1] In 2021 Stephen Karanja, a Kenyan doctor, publicly stated that the Covid-19 experimental vaccines "should not be given". He reportedly died a month later from "COVID complications".

The CIA has a covert paramilitary squad known as the Rapid Response Team (RRT). Nominally part of Kenya's paramilitary General Service Unit’s Recce Company', it is effectively run as a CIA surrogate force. The RRT special squad was itself created in 2004, but the CIA's relationship to the Recce Company dates to at least the 1980s. The RRT is guided on tactical operations by the CIA’s paramilitary Special Activities Center.[3]
RRT works with the US intelligence agency on "counter-terrorism", including renditions and assassinations. RRT paramilitaries, who are trained in the [[US] use covert tactics such as disguising themselves as aid workers on operations in Kenya's refugee camps. The RRT sets out to kill or capture targets, largely provided by the CIA and Kenya's National Intelligence Service, but also Britain's MI6.[3]
