Environment Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has called out the Standard Media Group after his scheduled interview on Spice FM was abruptly canceled
Environment Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has called out the Standard Media Group after his scheduled interview on Spice FM was abruptly canceled.
Taking to social media on Tuesday, February 25, Duale expressed his frustration, suggesting that the media house’s actions reflect a broader pattern in their editorial decisions.
“My sincere apologies to the listeners of Spice FM. The station’s owners have abruptly canceled my interview for reasons best known to them.
This move speaks volumes, and now you can clearly see the pattern behind the Standard Newspaper’s recent headlines,” he stated.
Duale further pointed out what he perceived as biased media coverage, noting that just a day earlier former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was given an open platform on KTN News.
Gachagua was on Monday, February 24, hosted on KTN News which is Spice FM’s sister station.
During the interview, he made several striking allegations against President William Ruto including claims that the head of state is engaged in business dealings with Rapid Support Forces (RSF) Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.
Gachagua asserted that these dealings involve smuggling gold from Sudan into Kenya for export to Dubai, suggesting that Ruto has prioritized personal commercial interests over Kenya’s national interests.

He recounted an incident from his tenure as Deputy President where he was asked to facilitate a meeting between Ruto and Hemedti at State House.
According to Gachagua, after introducing the two, he was promptly excluded from the discussion, implying it was a private business matter unrelated to Kenyan affairs.
“I did invite Hemedti, welcomed him, and delivered him to the President. There was nothing about Kenya, they were discussing business about gold and other things. I introduced him and I was told to leave because it had nothing to do with Kenya. If it had anything to do with the country I would have sat in that meeting,” he said.
He further noted that he escorted Hemedti to the airport afterward and learned the meeting centered on gold transactions.
