United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Secretary General Cleophas Malala is secretly working for Raila Odinga’s Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), Kimilili Member of Parliament Didmus Barasa says.
Barasa has alleged that despite being among the closest people to President William Ruto, the UDA boss, Malala has been busy at work to hand the Western Kenya region back to Raila.
He has alleged that it is for this reason that Malala continues to disrespect National Assembly speaker Moses Wetang’ula and Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi in Western Kenya.
Barasa has said that Malala has been holding rallies in the region rallies in the region to incite people against the two leaders, so that Raila and ODM can have it easy there in the 2027 elections.
“By weakening the leaders from Western Kenya, he is basically laying the ground for ODM to thrive in 2027 elections,” he said on Monday, as quoted by The Star.
He made the remarks while addressing the press in parliament buildings, while demanding that the UDA National Executive Council (NEC) removes the former Kakamega Senator from the position.
He cited Malala’s demands that they tell people how much development they have taken to the region, which, to him, is aimed at discrediting them before area voters and giving ODM the upper hand.
Malala warned that in the event the NEC refuses to do as he is asking, they will do it on their own.
“He has been unable to match Edwin Sifuna of ODM who is his equal. We will march to Hustler’s house; we will go there in thousands and physically eject him,” he stated.
Malala has also been publicly pressuring Mudavadi and Wetangula to fold their ANC and Ford Kenya parties and join UDA, terming them village parties.
