Defence Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has declared his readiness to face the consequences if he has disappointed President William Ruto in his role as minister.
Duale stated that if this is the case, the President should start with him and others who have failed to meet expectations for the sake of the country.
“If the President feels I have let him down as Minister for Defence, I want him to do the right thing. Start with me and all the rest who have let him down in the interest of all the people of Kenya and tell us to step aside to have a new team. I am ready, look at me, quote me,” he said on Citizen TV.
Duale emphasized that he has had the opportunity to serve Kenyans in various capacities over the years, both as a Member of Parliament and now as a Cabinet Minister.
However, if he is the obstacle preventing the country from progressing, he should be the first to be dismissed.
“I have served the people of Kenya as a Member of Parliament, as Leader of Majority, and in the last two years as Cabinet Minister for Defence. The people of Kenya, through former President Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto, have given me a chance to serve, but if I am part of the problem that is hindering the country called Kenya and our state affairs, let him start with me,” Duale said.
He further stated that this is an opportune time for President William Ruto to reset his administration for the betterment of the country.
“The President must reset. We have to listen to the vital voices, and they are categorically saying we are tribeless,” Duale stated.
