UDA Founding Member Joe Khalende Issues Fresh Demands After Malala’s Ouster
UDA Founding Member Joe Khalende Issues Fresh Demands After Malala’s Ouster: On Friday, Joe Khalende lauded the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) after resolving to dismiss Cleophas Malala as the party Secretary General.
In a statement, Khalende assured the newly appointed acting Secretary General Hassan Omar of his unwavering support as the latter takes on the new role.
“He is assured of our unequivocal support to support Party Leader President William Ruto to articulate his agenda of recalibrating the economy, uniting Kenya and delivering on his election pledges,”
Khalende took the opportunity to demand an immediate and thorough audit of the staff and procurement processes carried out when Malala was the SG.
He also demanded swift and stern action against all the party officials who were involved in the recent violence and anarchy witnessed at the party headquarters in Nairobi.
“We demand swift and stern action against all the party officials that participated in orchestrating security breaches at the party, perpetrators of violence, saboteurs of the party’s agenda,” stated Khalende.
“The Founding Members call upon every member of the party to join hands and in concert help the Party Leader to unite the country.”
This comes hours after UDA’s NEC kicked out Cleophas Malala following the recent happenings within the party.
The statement read, “The appointment of Hon Cleophas Malala as the interim Secretary General is hereby revoked. These changes are effective immediately,”
