Adan Duale Expresses Deep Gratitude Following Nomination as Cabinet Secretary for Ministry of Defence
Adan Duale has publicly expressed his heartfelt gratitude to His Excellency President William Samoei Ruto for nominating him as the Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Defence. In a statement released earlier today, Duale acknowledged the profound trust and confidence that President Ruto and the Kenyan people have placed in him with this significant appointment.
In his statement, Duale emphasized that the nomination reflects a deep belief in his ability to advance Kenya’s national agenda and, more specifically, to strengthen the nation’s security framework. He expressed readiness and willingness to present himself before the National Assembly’s relevant committee for vetting and public scrutiny, underscoring his commitment to transparency and accountability.
Duale also drew inspiration from a Quranic verse, Quran 2:152: “So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me,” to express his gratitude and reaffirm his dedication to serving the nation with honor and integrity.
“I am honored by this nomination and deeply appreciative of the confidence placed in me by President Ruto and the Kenyan people. I am fully prepared to undergo the vetting process and look forward to contributing to the safety and security of our nation,” Duale stated.
The nomination of Duale comes at a pivotal time for Kenya as the country continues to navigate complex security challenges. As a seasoned politician and former Majority Leader of the National Assembly, Duale’s appointment is seen as a strategic move aimed at bolstering Kenya’s defense capabilities and addressing national security concerns.
President Ruto’s decision to nominate Duale highlights a commitment to strengthening Kenya’s defense sector and ensuring that the nation’s security needs are met with experienced and dedicated leadership.
As the process moves forward, all eyes will be on the National Assembly as they conduct the necessary vetting procedures to confirm Duale’s appointment.
