Environment cabinet secretary Aden Duale has reprimanded elected leaders and Kenyans who frequently criticize president William Ruto with insults.
Duale emphasized that true leadership involves respecting authority. Particularly the presidency, regardless of one’s own position within the government.
He argued that showing respect towards the presidency is essential for earning from others. Duale underscored that maintaining decorum in public discourse is crucial for fostering a culture of mutual respect and effective governance.
“A decent and God-fearing leader must respect those in authority and more so the presidency which is a symbol of national unity. Politicians abuse the president; we’ve seen other people abuse the president. If you want to be respected by your wife, husband or children and everybody else we must first show respect,” Duale said.
“I ask Kenya Kwanza leaders, all of us were with the president, campaigned with him, committed ourselves collectively to the manifesto of the president today you cannot hold a position in government and contradict saying it is the president alone to deliver, no. Let all of us deliver the people of Kenya,” the CS said.
The CS urged Kenya Kwanza leaders, particularly those who have diverged from the president, to reaffirm their support as he works to advance his agenda for the country.
