The lawmaker, who was speaking to residents of Bula Iftin during a rally on Saturday, said that the Jubilee Party has the numbers to retain power in the forthcoming general elections.
He also said that Uhuru will defeat opposition leader Raila Odinga, who is contesting for his fourth time, with 14 million votes when that time comes, adding that NASA only has 5.7 million votes that will not take it to power in August.
“How they wish they had such numbers. If they had them, Jubilee would have lost. That is why they are preparing their supporters psychologically so that in the event they lose, then will say that they were rigged out,” Duale said, as quoted by Star.
Duale, who is the Garissa Township MP, further said that leaders aligned to NASA have no moral authority to lecturer Jubilee when it comes to matters of corruption and development.
He also took a swipe at Raila over his relationship with leaders accused of mega scandals in the past and current regimes.
“The one who dines with Raila Odinga is the same person who leads the biggest corruption cartels in the Republic of Kenya, both in the Moi and Kibaki governments,” Duale said.
