Former UDA SG Malala Drops Bomb Shell, Names Masterminds Behind DP Gachagua Impeachment Plot
Malala who spoke to the press on Thursday, barely two weeks after his dramatic removal as the Secretary General pointed fingers at the Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wa and Embu Governor Cecily Mbarire.
He stated,”That this coup was plotted and orchestrated by two senior party officials alongside others within the party secretariat. These senior officials are Mrs. Cecily Mbarire, and Mr. Kimani Ichungwa, MP for Kikuyu constituency,”
“That my ouster by the above officials had nothing to do with incompetence or my inability to run the UDA party, but was a well-choreographed script intended to climax with the impeachment of the Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua,” he added.
The former Kakamega Senator argued that the two were not happy about his cordial relationship with the president and his DP thus hatched a scheme to have him removed.
He stated, “My close and inevitable working relationship with the deputy president, who is also the UDA deputy party leader irked them, and when their concerted effort, lobbying and coercion to set me against my Deputy Party Leader failed, I was effectively profiled and labelled an obstacle towards their evil plot and conspiracy to have Rigathi Gachagua impeached,”
“Let it be known that the planned impeachment of the deputy president had nothing to do with President William Ruto, the broad-based government or any other narrative the coup plotters have advanced,”
Adding,”The impeachment had everything to do with egocentric 2027 and 2032 politics from the Mt. Kenya region and was instigated and propelled by Mrs. Cecily Mbarire and Mr. Kimani Ichungwa. These two want our deputy president out so that they can strategically position themselves within the emerging political re-alignments.”
