UDA Secretary-General Cleophas Malala wants the speaker of the national assembly and amason kingi, the speaker of the senate, to resign from their party positions.

On Monday, Cleophas Malala said that the two-state officials are not supposed to participate in politics.

“He should resign and allow us to engage the next party leader of FORD Kenya on matters dissolution. He cannot contribute because he is a State officer and State officers are not allowed to contribute on matters political parties and participate in politics. That is the position of the constitution,” Malala said.

Malala stated that the two should pave the way for new party leaders to engage the governing party leadership in the proposed dissolving of Kenya Kwanza affiliate parties to fold them into UDA. wetangula is the FORD Kenya party leader, while Kingi heads the PAA party.

“They are both lawyers, let them resign and allow us to engage the new party leaders and persuade them,” Malala said, adding, “These parties are as good as dissolved, it’s only that they have not accepted that they are no longer politically viable.”

He made the exact requests to Prime Minister Musalia Mudavadi, the party leader for ANC, and Foreign Affairs CS Alfred Mutua, who leads the Maendeleo Chapchap party.

“Yes, I am a gun-for-hire for William Ruto. I don’t care whatever name you give me so long as my president in 2027 will be elected by a landslide and so long as I achieve a super-majority as the ruling party in the next parliament,” he said.

Cleophas Malala, the former senator for Kakamega county who took over from Veronica Maina, has already been labelled as President William Ruto’s hired gun.
