Away from politics, Garissa Township MP and National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale is a spiritual teacher.
Duale who is known for his outspokenness in political events in a Facebook post after attending prayers at Sumeya High School in Garissa on June 25 took time to lecture Kenyans on real-life issues where he encouraged people to be always thankful of the gift of life from God.
He said: "To understand life better, you have to go to three locations; the hospital, prison and cemetery. At the Hospital, you will understand that nothing is more beautiful than health. In the Prison, you will see that freedom is the most precious thing and at the cemetery, you will realize that life is worth nothing."
"The ground that we walk today will be our roof tomorrow. We all come with nothing and we will go with nothing. Let us, therefore, remain humble and be thankful and grateful to God at all times for everything."
Duale is a prayerful leader and his Facebook and Twitter accounts are full of pictures of him posing with religious leaders especially those from the Muslim faith which he belongs to.
The second time MP said Kenya will be developed by Kenyans adding that such development can only be realized if Kenyans bury their differences and work together towards a common goal.
