Duale To Politicians- No Ferrying You Anymore

-

It is always a JKL show every Wednesday evening on Citizen TV. It is a renowned show for the simple reason of inviting influential and key guests to discuss hot and trending topics that leave viewers glued and intrigued into wanting to know more about the real events on the ground.

Yesterday panellist was a decorated politician turned minister of defence who is also a close ally of the Head of State, Aden Duale.

The moderator, who by the way, is represented by the acronym of the show, Jeff Koinange, is Kenya’s celebrated journalist with vast experience spanning years in the sector.

Back to the root of the topic, where concerned secretary, upon discussion and final deliberations with Jeff, happened to disclose a serious takeaway note touching on politicians.

According to the minister, military choppers will be far from the reach of politicians, this is what he said.

“Jeff, it will no longer be as usual, we are not going to carry politicians on our choppers going forward, and military resources shall remain useful to the rightful handful of those who need them the most.

No more ferrying politicians, even me, if am going home, I will use my car.”

“Come on Minister, how will you drive your car, when all roads in Garrisa have been swept by floods?” Chuckling moderator cracked a joke and a question at the same time, which was also true to some extent as the defence secretary defended that accusation, stating that roads in his home county have improved significantly and that which was washed away is minor and has been repaired.

To the knowledge of Kenyans, we have witnessed a culture where politicians have more than once accessed military resources to advance their agenda.

For instance, military choppers have been the norm for some of them, is this initiative from the minister a positive stride toward restricting and respecting that which belongs to our security personnel, who need it the most to restore peace, stability, and order in the nation? 

Let's discuss it below.

It is worth noting that our nation has had a tremendous change in all aspects and spheres that your mind can conjure. The question is whether they are positive or negative. My centre of attention shall focus on our nation's double life, especially our Identity dilemma. This has been a discussion on today's morning break on Citizen TV. I will go ahead and talk about our country and its ethnic identity question. Today, when you mention the name Kenya, it evokes images of breathtaking wildlife, landscapes and not to forget our beautiful and talented marathon athletes who have relentlessly and continuously made us proud, not just locally but on the world map. But scratch beneath the surface, a complex question emerges, one that has quietly simmered for decades: Is Kenya still ethnic-based? Or is it a nation truly forging a single, unified identity? This issue is deeply ingrained and permeates every part of Kenyan life, from the boardroom to the voting booth. It is not merely a scho...
