MAJORITY
LEADER, HON. ADEN DUALE WAS JUST “PLAIN CLEAR” WITH KENYANS AND HON. RUTO
“That money is not
yours. It is public money meant to improve lives,” Hon Aden Duale is said to have uttered at a ceremony at Massai Mara where Hon. Duale and Chairman of
Governors exchanged political tones according to Media Reports which in one way
or another adds “Political” cold war in many communities.
But what is the
Problem. The Majority Leaders in the
Nation Assembly, Hon. Duale was just reminding his close friend, Hon. Isaac
Ruto about “politics” by plainly trying to tell him, Can you say something
else, that (Pesa Mashinani) has already
been said over and over and already dealt with by Jubilee Team.

With the Upcoming Referendum
spearheaded to amend the constitution to suit politicians,
Hon Duale indirectly
told Hon Governor Ruto that he was not qualified to lead the demand for more
cash since he had not properly utilized allocations given to his county
government. In any case, Duale told the Governor to concentrate on development
issues that will benefit wananchi and save politics for 2017 and if he is paid
to do just that, Duale's Group will deal with them "straight on".
In reminding
Politicians to work for us Kenyans, Hon Duale always reminds them to work for
Development, stop the blame game and instead offer solutions to the problems
facing the country.
And that is just good
in a sense.
He even once cautioned
CORD leaders who have been holding a series of rallies and who have criticized
the Jubilee Government by saying:
“Cord leaders should be
accountable for what they say as they have formed platforms to propagate hate
speech messages against the government of the day, which is in no way in the
interest of Kenyans,” and "to allow the Jubilee Government to serve its
term, and resell their policies ahead of the
next general elections.”
He even directed them
to table any grievances they had in Parliament where answers would be provided.
This is what I think is
happening at the moment. Hon. Isaac Ruto now almost falls under this category.
The Chairman of the
Governors Board normally addresses Sunday Rallies to attack the Government and
he got his answers just right there...this time round.
Hon. Duale told Ruto
who was seating pensively at the dias that; "Hii
pesa ni ya Wakenya sio ya mama yako bwana. Hii pesa si ya baba yako? "
(These funds belong to Kenyans and it doesn't belong to you).
Hon Duale just was
plainly saying....The Money (Pesa
Mashinani) Hon. Issac Ruto keeps telling Kenyans is not “his” alone. It is
for all Kenyans and to add Insult to the Injury he has caused him, Hon. Duale Told
him to account for the Money (The Bomet County) has lost, which is almost 184
Millions first before asking for some more money.
Kwani
hio ni Mbaya....Your
guess is as good as mine.
Hon Duale is a very
kind mind for your information. His constituents
(say Muslims and Somalis) like him the way he is fighting for their rights.
This is in order. We understand him. It
is an obvious scenario where every Kenyan Community defends their man. Remember
the Rugut Transfer and ICC cases how politicians were swearing “ we will do
everything in this world” to console and defend their “person”.
That said, In previous
Instances, Hon. Aden Duale has been mis-understood: Take a case of where he was
telling Terrorists to go and bomb their "own" country than bombing
Kenya.The Video clip was greatly mis-understood.
“Why is someone
listening to that clip selectively? I told the residents to help police in
arresting suspects who are targeting our people. I asked why terrorism is
targeting places such as Eastleigh, Garissa and Machakos,” he said.
In the case of Governor
Ruto, Hon Duale was even far much better with him...He just reminded him,
Kenyans are the "owners" of the Money he is talking about everywhere and
it's their right to demand audit to the already given money before being given
some more. If the Governors can't
account for the money, who is he to force on Kenyans. He added that the exact
figure according to the Auditor’s report is Sh185, 696,194 that Ruto received
from the Transitional Authority between April and June 2013.
He told the governor
that the money he is pushing for belongs to Kenyans and not his own funds (Albeit
In political wordings)....
“I made no bad
reference to the Kenyan women. I simply said that in Kenya, there are two types
of resources; private and public. In the case of a private resource, it belongs
to a family thus I made it clear that the resources of Bomet County do not
belong to the family of Isaac Ruto, which is represented by his mother and
father,” Duale said.
If you are talking
about hate speech, there are some serious instances. Compare the following
alleged uttered words intended to stir ethnic hated were among others (sometime
back)
1.
“Wakikuyu wahame Rift
Valley mahali kulilimikiwa na madorobo”
2.
“Nairobi tokeni hii ni
shamba la wamaasai”
3.
“Wajaluo wahame shamba
la kuria hata tutatumia nguvu”
4.
“Vile mnavyojua,
Transzoia ni yetu na wanasema ni Metropolitan ata Bungoma ni yetu na ata jina
mnasikia, is(sic) tunawaambia hii katiba ikipita watu wa TransZoia wafunge
virago vyao waende, wale wako Bungoma katiba ikipita vile vile virago waende”
Cabinet minister Chirau
Ali Mwakwere, who once stood accused of inciting hatred against “Arab” settlers
who he said had taken land from indigenous coastal communities, claims his
right of expression was being “grossly violated” by the case.
Those are even crude
words which Hon Duale will "never" say. So why all this Hullabaloo
Hon Duale has since
dismissed his critics and reiterated that he will not relent in fighting for
the rights of his people just like all leaders are expected.
Take it easy with Hon.
Duale. He is our Leader. Find another means of removing him.
When Hon Moses Kuria
(Gatundu) was summoned by the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC)
to clarify hate speech, he said he was not being malicious or tribal but was
fighting terrorism even after saying:
“I want to state here
categorically that if you are a terrorist you need to be very scared of Moses
Kuria. When it comes to terrorism I have no regrets, zero regrets. I’m going to
stand firm against terrorism and when I say ‘we’ I mean Kenyans.” He explained.
“When it comes to
issues of cohesion I am one person who has been on the front line on promoting
this commission. There is nothing wrong on that posting, if acts of terror
continue in this country we have no control on what Kenyans will do, because
Kenyans are angry about these matters. I was purely analysing and purely
predicting. Actually I have got a battle with terrorist… I do not care which
tribe they belong to.”
Hon. Duale, Go on and
On. Kenyans are with you.
