Garissa Township MP Aden Duale has attacked Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i over allegations of letting power get into his head.
Matiang'i has come under sharp criticism from politicians allied to Deputy President William Ruto over his remarks while attending a function in Kirinyaga County on Friday, last week.
In his speech, CS Matiang'i cautioned politicians against using the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report to divide the country. The no-nonsense CS also told off his critics, noting that he only takes instructions from President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Reacting to the remarks, Duale asked the CS to "go slow" saying that "history repeats itself".
"Circumstances do change, so do public officers come in and go. Being in position of power, should never get into your head. We are servants of the people. Positions change. What does not change is the purpose for which one is appointed which is for public service. This should remain at heart," said Duale in a Facebook post on Monday.
The National Assembly Majority Leader went ahead to list the names of some of the high profile former politicians and technocrats who ended up lonely and dejected.
"Engineer Michael Kamau is nearly going what David Mwiraria went through, alone and dejected. Presently, we now have Cabinet Secretary of Interior Fred Matiang'i and his Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho. I have heard that the two are now exclaiming that they only receive instructions from a single person without realising that the presidency is a dual office that should be respected," Duale said in a post in his Facebook page.
