Junet Mohammed Criticizes Aden Duale After Being Ousted as Majority Leader ¶
Junet Mohammed, a vocal supporter of Raila Odinga, has criticized Aden Duale after being ousted as Majority Leader on June 23, 2020.
According to Junet, Duale was removed from his position because he was not following the party's leader, Raila Odinga, and was being too independent.
"If you follow Baba like a cow, it's because you're afraid of the consequences you're seeing," Junet said in a statement.
Junet has been a strong supporter of Raila Odinga and was elected on the ODM party ticket. He has been critical of Duale's leadership style and has accused him of being too focused on his own interests.
On the other hand, Duale has denied the allegations, saying it was just politics. In a statement, he said, "I was not removed because of incompetence or failure to perform my duties, but because of politics."
He also apologized to anyone he may have offended during his time as Majority Leader.
Junet's criticism of Duale comes as the Kenyan government is facing increasing pressure from opposition parties and civil society groups.
As the Majority Leader, Duale was a key figure in the Jubilee government and was responsible for overseeing the passage of key legislation.
His removal has been seen as a significant blow to the Jubilee government, which is already facing challenges from opposition parties.
Junet's criticism of Duale is likely to escalate tensions between the two parties and could have significant implications for the Kenyan government.
