Aden Duale on Citizen TV with Hussein Mohammed has revealed that his quietness was not for any bad intention but he had gone to the Holy Macca then after that went back to Garissa.
” I have been around. During the festive season I was away in the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. I came back and went to spend time in Garissa.”
In line with that Duale has said that he is the unifying factor of Jubilee party in and outside the parliament so he cannot go around funerals politicking as other politicians.
“Every time I speak, the statement must be concurrent with the party’s leadership. You do not expect me to go out to funerals and political rallies. I am supposed to be the unifying factor of the party in and out of parliament.”
Speaking on the recent turbulence that has been hitting Jubilee Aden Duale said that the party is still intact as before and that the former Party Deputy Chairperson David Murathe had to go as he did not hold to the principles of Jubilee.
Duale moreover tarnished the allegations that the President Uhuru Kenyatta had dumped his Deputy William Ruto saying that the signed agreement still holds.
“In private, the president has declared his support for the DP. All those ‘making noise’ saying the president has changed tactic I say: The president does not need to announce on TV or in a rally that his preferred candidate is the DP.”
