Duale to spill the beans on Uhuru’s scheme against Ruto in a new book » Capital News

NAIROBI, Kenya, Mar 15 — Former National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale has vowed to reveal President Uhuru Kenyatta’s plan to stop Deputy President William Ruto’s ascension to the climax of political power in a soon-to-be-released memoir.

The Garissa Township Member of Parliament, who was kicked out from the revered position in June 2020 at the height of an aggressive purge by the ruling party against Ruto-allied members, said the President had a 45-minute conversation warning him against “divided loyalty”.

“You have delivered for me as my first majority leader but the problem is that you are a friend to William Ruto and I have completed the purge of Ruto’s friends like Kihika and Murkomen but I have been told the head of the snake is still in my Parliament,” Duale stated.

In the snippet of the conversation held at State House in June on a day that a hurriedly-convened Jubilee Party Parliamentary Group ratified new changes that effectively ended his 8-year reign as Majority Leader, President Kenyatta is reported to have made it clear that he had no room for legislators allies to Ruto.

In changes read out in the presence of Kenyatta and Ruto during the meeting held on June 22, 2020, Jubilee Majority Whip Emmanuel Wangwe announced Kipipiri Member of Parliament Amos Kimunya.

Aden Keynan was named the Secretary of an expanded coalition.

Duale said that he had no option than to relinquish the coveted position in the August House as backstabbing Ruto was not a viable option for him.

“I was a best friend to Uhuru and Ruto and because I didn’t want to be involved in politics of deceit and backstabbing. I shook his hand and walked to the parliamentary group,” he narrated.

The Former Majority Leader claimed there was more to the details of President Kenyatta and Deputy president William Ruto betrayal story,which will be detailed in a book he will launch soon.

“I will tell you more once you read the book am about to complete,”he noted.

Duale insisted that he will not be cowed despite the persecution sustained against Ruto loyalists to betray the DP.

“We stood on our ground and said we will not allow Ruto to be alone at the slaughterhouse,” he noted.

Duel castigated the Head of State for giving mandate to allies who he termed as “drunkards and brokers” to undermine the Deputy President.

“When you become the 5th president don’t allow brokers and drunkards to undermine both the character of the person of the Deputy President and their mandate,” Duale said.
