Garissa lawmaker and National Assembly Majority Leader has rubbished the said growing rift between President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto.
In an interview on Citizen TV Tuesday evening, Duale also laughed off claims that Uhuru could have changed his mind on endorsing Ruto as his successor in 2022.
He added that no love is lost between the two and Uhuru remains committed to his initial promise to back the DP in 2022, a promise he has reiterated, though in private.
"Uhuru has told us in a parliamentary group meeting that he will personally spearhead Ruto's campaign in 2022. In private, he has told us not once or twice that he will do it," he said.
He based Uhuru's current silence on the issue of his commitment to deliver on his election promises and his development agenda.
"Uhuru has said that we have a social contract with the people and must deliver on his manifesto and the Big 4 agenda.
"Whoever says he has change tact is wrong. You don't expect the president to declare his plans in a political rally" he said.
However, the remarks come at a time Uhuru seems to be isolating his DP and appears to have pulled opposition leader, another longtime presidential seat contender, closer.
Uhuru has repeatedly said that he will not be drawn into the 2022 debate as he has a lot to do to better the country in the meantime.
Both leaders have called for political calm.
