Speaking to the press at a Garissa hotel, the elders drawn from different clans residing in Garissa further said that Duale’s re-appointment will help in strengthening security in Northeastern and the country at large. Duale has been the CS for the Defence ministry since October 2022 until July this year when President Ruto dissolved his Cabinet. “We are here as elders of this county to express our appreciation to President William Ruto for showing confidence in our son. He could have chosen to pick another person but decided to retain him the same docket that he was serving,” Amey said. As they say, it is the wearer of the shoe who knows where it pinches the most."
