Majority Leader Aden Duale is no stranger to controversy in the political arena of the country.
He speaks his mind without fear of contradiction and retribution.
Having mandated to drive the Jubilee agenda in the National Assembly, he is devoted to defend the government from any accusations in and out of the legislative buildings.
Duale has mastered the art of mobilisation that he can marshal his fellow allied MPs to either back or water down a legislative motion brought in the house depending on it is merits and demerits for the coalition.
However, Duale's mobilising ability in the house was put to test in May, 2015 when the Jubilee-allied MPs ganged up to censure him on the ground of trivialising security matters of the country.
The Garissa Township MP came under sharp criticism when he failed to expose the list of the terrorist sympathisers and financiers in the wake of Garissa University terror attack that claimed the lives of the 148 students, mainly the Christian Faith students.
Three days after the vicious attack, in accompany of other northeastern leaders, he promised to reveal the list of terrorists conspirators in the region only to renege on his promise unexpectedly.
Angered by his statements, Jubilee legislators led by Kieni MP Kanini Kega threatened to engineer an impeachment motion against him ( Duale) before the then Githunguri MP Peter Njoroge Baiya intervened and prevailed upon his colleagues to spare the Majority Leader for the sake of the coalition's unity.
