This Is My Only Disappointment With Raila, Aden Duale Reveals

Aden Duale, the Defence Cabinet Secretary, has spoken out about his only regret with Azimio leader Raila Odinga.

The CS stated on Wednesday that the former prime minister has always utilized deception in his dealings.

Even the current protests, according to Duale, allow Raila to gain power.

He said that once the ODM leader receives the handshake, he forgets about the people who helped him acquire it.

He cited the scenario of Raila meeting then-President Uhuru Kenyatta in 2018 without the knowledge of Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, ANC party head Musalia Mudavadi, and Bungoma senator Moses Wetang'ula.


The three were co-principals in the former Prime Minister's National Super Alliance (Nasa) coalition.

Duale, on the other hand, stated that even if Raila were to gain access to the current administration, he would desert those who helped him get there.

"Demonstrations were used to get Baba into the government of the day." My only dislike about him is that he quickly needs to remember the folks that stood with him every time the 'Handshake' table is placed. "We saw it when he met Uhuru without knowing about Musyoka, Mudavadi, or Wetangula," Duale explained.

"I keep talking about the politics of deception." And, if a handshake occurred, which is a far-fetched fantasy, trust me, he would not drag anyone along."

Duale first met Raila in 2007, when he was an ODM member and MP for the Dujis constituency.



Before they broke out following the creation of the Grand Coalition Government with retired president Mwai Kibaki (late), he had even identified himself as Raila's chief campaigner in Northern Kenya.
