Mr Duale, who is also Garissa Township MP, arrived at the DCI headquarters hours after his rival, former deputy Speaker Farah Maalim, had been at the same venue to petition police to charge and prosecute him.
The undated audio recording surfaced online on Thursday as a video with a picture of the majority leader. The voice in the clip is heard telling the youth in the constituency to cause violence targeted at a certain community.
In the clip, which was widely shared on social media, the speaker talks of concern about people from outside constituency registering as voters. He goes on to tell the youth to look for ‘unknown’ people during voter registration.
