Environment Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has termed President William Ruto as the most accessible Head of State he has ever worked with.
Speaking during an interview on Citizen TV on Wednesday, Duale said he had been privileged to work with late president Mwai Kibaki, fourth president Uhuru Kenyatta and now Ruto.
"I have worked with late president Kibaki, a very fine gentleman, I have worked with President Uhuru, I was his leader of majority for eight years, I have worked president Ruto now, President Ruto is the most accessible president,” Duale said.
Duale further noted that Ruto listens to everyone and gives everyone a chance to convince him about whatever point they are trying to make.
The CS said that the president calls everyone and operates on what he termed as zero grounds, adding that he (Ruto) cannot be impeached.
Duale went ahead to add that the president also gives people a chance to convince the Cabinet on whatever issue they have at hand, and if they do convince the cabinet then they have their way.
"President Ruto listens to every member of his Cabinet and what he says, even to me is, Adan if convince me, well and good, if you convince the Cabinet well and good, he listens," Duale said.
"He (Ruto) operates at ground zero, that's why he will not be impeached. When you are a leader always operate from ground zero so that in the event you fall down you don't hurt yourself."
Duale is one of Ruto’s close allies with their relationship dating back to before 2013 when the Jubilee party took over.
The CS has always had a strong friendship with the president.
The president has always termed him as a loyal friend and that he could count on Duale any day any time.
In one of the president’s past speeches attributed to Duale, he said that he is truly proud to be Duale’s friend because he has taught him loyalty.
