Friday, August 16, 2024 - It is now emerging that on the day Cleophas Malala was ousted as UDA Secretary-General and replaced with Omar Hassan, he rushed to State House early morning accompanied by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and begged President Ruto to intervene.
According to well-placed
sources, Malala went on his knees and broke down in tears while begging Ruto to
intervene on his behalf.
However, despite Ruto’s
attempts to reach out to key UDA officials, his calls went unanswered as they
had switched off their phones.
The dramatic incident
lasted for 30 minutes before Ruto told Malala that there was nothing he could do
to save him.
“Nimejaribu yangu yote nimeshindwa,” the head of state reportedly told Malala and urged him to stand.
All this time, Gachagua
was silent.
Malala has accused two senior UDA officials who were behind plans to impeach
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua for masterminding his ouster.
He
alleged that the two officials want the Deputy President out so that they can
strategically position themselves within the emerging political re-alignments.
Malalah
further said his alleged removal was outright unlawful, unfair, and a sheer
blatant contravention of the party constitution and laid down due processes.
