Duale denies ethnic incitement claims, says remarks were taken out of context
[File, Standard] Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has denied allegations of ethnic incitement, insisting that his remarks have been misrepresented and taken out of context.
The Cabinet Secretary also criticised what he described as selective outrage by some leaders, saying similar condemnation was absent when inflammatory remarks were previously directed at the Somali community.
The remarks have also drawn criticism from a section of political leaders, who have called for action against the Cabinet Secretary, arguing that public officials must exercise restraint and use language that promotes national cohesion, particularly on matters touching on ethnicity.
