Aden Duale greets President William Ruto.

During his grilling, he said that the role of the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) was to protect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Kenya.

"The core mandate of KDF is to protect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Kenya. KDF will at all times protect our nation from any external aggression," he said.

Reacting to Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni's son Muhoozi Kainerugaba's recent tweets, Duale said that KDF had no role to react to them.

"Our country does not react to tweets but to official government positions, KDF had no role to respond to that. We should not bother. His tweets should be treated with the contempt they deserve," Duale said.
