Aden Duale Attacks NASA Leaders Who Visited Mzee Daniel Moi

National Assembly Majority leader Aden Duale on Thursday launched a fresh attack against Opposition leaders who visited retired President Daniel Moi at his Kabarak home. 

The Garissa Township Member of Parliament (MP) told off the leaders whom he deemed to have been "excited" at the opportunity.

Mr Duale cautioned the leaders to note that the visit had only been made possible because Opposition chief Raila Odinga struck a deal with President Uhuru Kenyatta.

"Congratulations but this should not excite you," Duale noted as he spoke in Parliament.

He added: "Your visit is just an extension of the handshake. Mr Speaker, today the handshake was in Kabarak ... it has moved from Harambee House."

Tying the visit with the upcoming 2022 General Election, the Majority Leader asked the Opposition leaders not to peg their chances of surviving in politics to the visit.

"Those visiting Mzee Moi are allowed to go and tell him 'pole (sorry)' because he served us for 24 years. But those who intend to be in the 2022 race...you don't need such visits...face we who are on the other side," he advised.

The Opposition leaders who accompanied former Prime Minister Raila Odinga during the visit are Mvita MP Abdulswamad Nassir and Vihiga Senator George Khaniri, both elected leaders in the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party.

On his social media pages, Mr Odinga outlined that he had discussed "the state of the Kenyan nation and stability" with the retired president and wished him good health.

Duale went on to congratulate newly reinstated Amani National Congress (ANC) Secretary-General Godfrey Osotsi for retaining his post.
