Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale is facing growing resistance from a section of political leaders in the North Eastern region, who accuse him of wading into local political affairs and attempting to influence the region’s political landscape.

The emerging pushback threatens to undermine President Ruto’s re-election campaign, which Duale himself has so much invested in the region, Ruto has been on a charm political offensive lately in a bid to woo the region with huge investment and proclamation of executive orders.

Already, the vocal CS is facing backlash over the controversial remarks he made against the Kikuyu community that has resulted in summonses from the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC).
