After a dispute with Deputy President William Ruto, former National Assembly Majority Leader and Garissa Township MP Aden Duale disclosed a 45-minute meeting with President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Duale revealed in an interview over the weekend that before being forced to admit his political views, he was friends with both the Head of State and his deputy.
Initially, Duale observed that Uhuru had informed him of his support for Ruto’s president; however, as the consequences became known to the public, Uhuru later requested explanations.
“I was in a state of denial because I questioned the President more than 40 times if he was going to break his promise to the DP to back him in the next general election. William Ruto is still the presidential candidate that the President used to assure me, “No, no, no, I didn’t tell anyone.”
“I mostly concentrated on the role of the majority leader. I had a 45-minute open conversation with the President before that PG aired. I just asked him, “Get to the point, what do you want me to do,” after listening to all the things he had to say about his deputy. A PG is waiting,” Duale said.
