Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Former National Assembly Majority Leader and Garissa Township Member of Parliament Aden Duale, has responded to President Uhuru Kenyatta\u2019s remarks urging citizens not to elect thieves into office.<\/p>\n

In a scathing attack against his former boss, Duale stated that such remarks were demeaning to the voters who elected both Kenyatta and Ruto into office in 2013 and 2017.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are telling us the eight million jubilee supporters in your own leading are full of conmen and crooks and thieves. That is an insult to the Jubilee family and your supporters,\u201d stated Duale.<\/p>\n

Duale was speaking in Kajiado County during a popularization campaign for the hustler movement, in a meeting attended by top United Democratic Alliance (UDA) senior politicians including the Deputy President.<\/p>\n

The seemingly enraged legislator told the president to use his instruments of power and name people he thought were thieves, rather than addressing it in public rallies.<\/p>\n

“You have the instrument of power. The National Intelligence Service fall under you, you have the EACC, you have the DCI, you have the Auditor General. Use those and tell the country. Be specific. A leader must talk with specificity,\u201d retorted Duale.<\/p>\n

Mumias MP, Benjamin Washiali, a close ally of Ruto decried attempts by the president to block his deputy from winning presidency, in the guise of branding him as a thief.<\/p>\n

The Head of States told residents of Ruiru on Friday, October 29, to be very careful with the people they vote, as some of them had plans of stealing from the public. He asked them to elect leaders who would further his legacy and that of former president Mwai Kibaki.<\/p>\n

The president also urged the public to tone down at a time when political temperatures were increasing.<\/p>\n
