Choose Between Politics And Serving Kenyans Says CS Duale
Speaking in Bula Medina in Garissa Township Constituency when he launched an Islamic education center, Duale said the leaders took the oath of office and should abide by the same until the next general election.
The former Garissa Township MP said Kenyans gave the leaders the privilege to serve them by voting for them during the last general election, and they should not take it for granted.
“You have a choice to spearhead the interest of your community or abide by the oath of office that you took. Don’t forget the 2027 general election awaits you,” Duale said.
“The position you are serving is on behalf of all Kenya, regardless of their tribe, religion, or where they come from, you have no choice but to abide by it.”
In the recent past, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was allegedly accused by a section of leaders from the Mt Kenya region of promoting tribal politics.
DP Gachagua said he was not unapologetic and his love for the central region should not create a problem with other regions.
“If loving my people, caring for them, and thinking about them is wrong, then I’m guilty as charged. It does not mean that because I love my people, I have a problem with the other people,” Gachagua said.
“The rest of the people are all our friends; they are my people who I agree with; we talk the same language and understand each other.”
The DP’s stance to back the one-man, one-shilling revenue-sharing formula has put him at loggerheads with some leaders especially those from the Arid and Semi-Arid areas.
