Being a public figure, it is an open secret that a politician's private life will definitely come under scrutiny at one given time.

Aden Duale, the Garissa Township MP is no exception to this and here is why you need to know these two key facts about his family.

1. His wife is the daughter of a general

Duale's beloved wife Farida is the daughter of a retired Army General Mahmoud Mohammed. 

He is on record publicly revealing that his dowry was worth only four cows. 

2. He has five kids, all boys

 Duale and Farida are blessed with five lovely children, all of them being boys. 

The eldest son going by the name Abdul Razak Aden, who in the 2015 KCSE exams performed extremely well by scoring an A minus at Mang’u High School, is currently pursuing his university studies while their youngest son is still in Kindergarten.

The couple have been keeping their family life out of the public domain.

For instance, Farida never takes active roles in politics and in very rare occasions does he accompany her politician husband in rallies.
