NAIROBI: In a secluded corner on the First Floor of Kenya’s Parliament Buildings, there’s a four-roomed office that serves as the Office of the Majority Leader.
In it, the occupant, Aden Bare Duale, the MP for Garissa Township, runs the business of the House. The spacious office is a wall away from the Office of the Deputy Speaker, Dr Joyce Laboso, and two doors away from the Office of the Speaker of the National Assembly, Mr Justin Muturi. The polished granite corridor, the mahogany door with an electric lock, the red carpet on the floor, cushy couches, mahogany desks, and the airy comfortable interior give an aura of power.
