Cabinet Secretary for Health Aden Duale is under investigation by the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) following remarks he made that have been widely criticized as divisive and inflammatory.

• The comments, made in his local dialect, appeared to pit the Somali community against Central Kenya and implied former presidents from that region offered less development than the current administration.
• CS Duale claims his words were a misinterpretation of a Somali proverb about resource monopolization and not an attack on any community.
• Leaders across the political spectrum, including Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru and several senators, have condemned the remarks, warning they threaten national unity.
