Hon. Aden Bare Duale was elected to parliament in 2007 to represent the people of Dujis Constituency, now Garissa Township constituency. He is a founder member of the United Republican Party and a die-hard supporter of William Ruto and President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Petty clan dynamics and small-time sectarian politicking aside, we as Somalis need to appreciate one of our own, and even more so when he/she has excelled and continues to soar into greatness.
