National Assembly Majority leader Aden Duale has heaped praise on President Uhuru Kenyatta for offering Muslims top jobs within his government since he took over leadership following the last general elections.
Duale, also the Garissa Township MP, said that President Kenyatta’s administration has not sidelined Muslims, adding that he deserves another term for initiating a number of projects in different parts of the nation.
He also noted that Uhuru has included several Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries from the community in his leadership.
“There is no time Muslims have held so many senior positions in Government,” said Duale, who has been a strong critic of the leaders of the opposition.
His remarks were reiterated by Tourism Cabinet Secretar Najib Balala who also said that there is a lot Muslims can smile about since Uhuru took over this nation.
“If there is any time and I have been in three governments, if there is any time the Muslims are closer to government then it is this moment. Since you assumed the leadership of this country, for the first time we held a prayer, an iftar at State House under your leadership,” said CS Balala.
Leaders from the Muslim community have vowed to back President Uhuru Kenyatta for another term in office when that time comes.
