Biography

Aden Bare Duale (Somali: Aadan Barre Ducaale) is a Kenyan politician who served as the Cabinet Secretary for Defence in the cabinet of President William Ruto, having assumed the position on 31 October 2022. He was dismissed on 11 July 2024 and then reinstated on 19 July 2024 in a different capacity as Cabinet Secretary Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry before being moved to Ministry of Health. He hails from the Ogaden - AbudWaaq branch of the greater Darod clan. A former Member of the National Assembly for Garissa Township Constituency, Duale served as the Majority Leader of the National Assembly under the Jubilee Party in the 11th Parliament from 2013 to 2017 and in the 12th Parliament from 2017 to 2020, when he was ousted for perceived disloyalty to former President Uhuru Kenyatta, the Jubilee Party leader. He was first elected in 2007 under the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), but left the party in 2009, teaming up with Ruto to form the United Republican Party.

Hon. Aden Duale (Garissa Township, JP) This is a very important amendment. But I think a time has come that this House must bring an amendment to stop other entities which do not have the power of tax collection, whether they are called multi-agency, DCI and I do not who,...

Hon. Aden Duale (Garissa Township, JP) I am a pastoralist and this matter affects pastoralists. I support the amendment, but the problem is not even about exports. The problem is the untapped potential of skins and hides. Annually, three million cattle are slaughtered in the country. In the Kenya Kwanza...

Hon. Aden Duale (Garissa Township, JP) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, this is a very good amendment because currently, close to 90 per cent of the fuel levy goes to road maintenance and 10 per cent goes to development of new roads. This amendment is balancing so that 50 per cent...

Hon. Aden Duale (Garissa Township, JP) I am just asking about the commencement date. Maybe, the Chairlady can tell us. You have to provide the date. Otherwise, it will take 14 days.

Hon. Aden Duale (Garissa Township, JP) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Chairman. I support even though this is very unlikely to happen. Kenya Kwanza will flood this House in the 13th Parliament In shaa Allah. This happened in another jurisdiction, I think in the second term of President Obama where he...

Hon. Aden Duale (Garissa Township, JP) Hon. Chairman, we are adopting the United States of America’s system, and we must totally agree that it is the same jurisdiction.

Hon. Aden Duale (Garissa Township, JP) Hon. Deputy Chairman, I oppose the amendment because we abandoned analogue systems. I served in the 10th Parliament. You served in the 9th Parliament. If you allow people to rise in their places, you will have crowds. Let us use electronic method for interventions....

Hon. Aden Duale (Garissa Township, JP) Hon. Deputy Chairman, as I support, I think we should be very careful. We should not look like we are curtailing the freedom of the media. Our Standing Orders are drawn mainly from the Constitution and the statutes passed by this House. The only...

Hon. Aden Duale (Garissa Township, JP) Hon. Deputy Chairman, I had my own amendments but I forgot this bit. Anyone who was in the 12th Parliament and part of the 11th Parliament will agree that people do not declare their interests. People sit in a committee where a company where...
