Did Duale’s remark on mercury-sugar scandal confirm Jubilee is split into two camps?

National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale is the most senior government official after President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy, William Ruto. That is why I was shocked when I heard him hit out at the Government over the ongoing war against contraband sugar.

Mr. Duale, who spoke in Parliament during a heated debate on the illegal sugar, promised to name the cartels importing sugar illegally. He also challenged Treasury CS Henry Rotich to disclose the names of the individuals he had awarded licenses to import sugar during the electioneering period last year. Duale’s remarks were a clear indication that indeed Jubilee is no longer one unit.
