Thursday, April 24, 2025 - Former Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala has broken his silence on his ouster as Secretary General of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
Speaking during an interview on Spice FM, Malala attributed
his ouster to a sharp fallout with President William Ruto over his refusal to
support the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
"I
advised the President, as Secretary General, that impeaching Rigathi would sink
our ship and destabilise the government.”
“He
dismissed me as an enemy. I was then asked to sign the impeachment,"
Malala claimed.
“They
even proposed having two deputy party leaders to replace him seamlessly.”
“I
warned it would destabilise the party, but they were adamant.”
Labelled a "mole" for his stance, Malala says his
principled position ultimately cost him his seat at the party’s leadership
table.
“In the
end, Malalah had to go," he added.
The former Senator also accused President Ruto of political
interference in the education sector, citing the recent ban on Butere Girls High
School’s controversial play, Echoes of War.
Malala claimed Ruto personally ordered the move, calling it
an act of paranoia.
"The president is boxing in the dark. If you compare
the content of the play and the statement he gave, there’s no connection,"
Malala said.
The revelations have further intensified debate over
internal divisions within Kenya Kwanza.
