Cabinet secretary nominee for Defence Aden Duale has told off MP David Pkosing after asking why President William Ruto chose him for the docket. In his response, Duale said that it was the President's right to pick whoever he pleases for the job. The Pokot South MP asked Duale what made Ruto pick him for Defence and not any other docket. "What do you think the president saw in you to nominate you for defence, not any other thing, not finance, what is that he saw?" The National Assembly Committee on appointments chairman Moses Wetang'ula intervened saying that it was an unfair question but Pkosing insisted that it was a sober question.
