He has always been on the frontline of politics, keen on airing his views on virtually every political development.
It is therefore very strange that he has suddenly gone silent as rumours of tensions within the governing Jubilee Party continue roil public discourse.
Many expected Garissa Township Member of Parliament Aden Duale to weigh in on the Mau Forest eviction saga that has gripped the Kenyan public.
Duale has not uttered a word, not even a squeak, on the issue.
The only issue he spoke about was the vexed issue of contraband sugar laced with mercury that has been smuggled into the country by the so-called cartels.
This is totally out of character for the outspoken legislator who has never missed a chance to speak on issues of the day.
Lingering in the minds of scores of Kenyans is the question; why has Duale decided to take a low profile?
That's a question that only him can answer.
