In a lengthy statement on Twitter, the ejected William Ruto ally said he served the interests of the majority party and oversaw the passage of over 200 Bills and 500 motions.

“This was not an easy task but one which required that I work with everyone, be it foe or friend and in the end and with the help of Allah, I delivered,” Duale wrote.

He further thanked President Uhuru Kenyatta, his deputy Ruto and Jubilee members for giving him the opportunity to serve Kenyans.

“But like I have said before, public positions are not to be personalised. When you are given a position you do your best and when time comes for you to leave, you leave with a smile,” he continued.

The legislator also congratulated his successor Kipipiri MP Amos Kimunya and concluded by thanking Kenyans and the people of Garissa whom he said he would continue working for.

“As the first leader of majority party in the Constitution of Kenya 2010, I can now pen down this for history and record: I came, I saw and I conquered,” he concluded.

The DP also congratulated Duale for his work and said when parliamentary history will be written, “you will have a chapter”.

Duale was ejected in a 30-minute PG meeting at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) which was presided over by the first in command.

Ruto was also in attendance despite a few of his allies stating they would not attend the meeting.

Duale’s ouster is said to be linked to his dalliance with the DP who has been at loggerheads with Uhuru.
