Kenya Kwanza Implosion: Malala Calls on Kuria and Murkomen to Resign Over Attack on DP Gachagua
United Democratic Alliance Secretary General demands resignation of Cabinet Secretaries involved in factional feud within President William Ruto's administration.
(Nation.Africa) The political landscape in Kenya is currently experiencing an implosion within President William Ruto's administration. The tensions have escalated as Cleophas Malala, the Secretary General of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), made an unprecedented call for the resignation of Cabinet Secretaries involved in the ongoing factional feud. Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen and Public Service Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria are specifically targeted, with Malala urging them to resign if they wish to engage in politics. This move highlights the growing divide within the ruling party and the impact it may have on Kenya's political landscape.
The Call for Resignation:
Malala's statement emphasized that Cabinet Secretaries should remain apolitical and focus on their primary responsibilities. He called on Moses Kuria, the Cabinet Secretary for Public Service, Gender, and Affirmative Action, to either serve the people within his docket or resign and join the political arena. Similarly, Malala urged Kipchumba Murkomen, the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport, to prioritize addressing pressing issues in his ministry or step down and return to politics. This demand for resignation underscores the increasing tensions and power struggle within the ruling UDA party.
Disciplinary Action and Warning:
In addition to the call for resignation, Malala warned of disciplinary action against politicians involved in the factionalism within the UDA party. Notably, Malala singled out politicians such as Oscar Sudi, Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga, and Githunguri MP Gathoni Wa Muchomba. He stated that their behavior not only undermines the ruling party but also disrespects its top leaders. Malala's warning serves as a stern message to those engaging in divisive actions and premature campaigns for the 2032 elections.
"It has come to my attention that some Cabinet Secretaries have been involving themselves in political activities, contrary to the law which requires them to remain apolitical."
The implosion within President Ruto's administration has reached new heights with Cleophas Malala's call for the resignation of Cabinet Secretaries involved in the factional feud. The demand for Kipchumba Murkomen and Moses Kuria to either focus on their ministerial responsibilities or step down and engage in politics highlights the growing divide within the ruling UDA party. This political turmoil may have significant implications for Kenya's political landscape and the support President Ruto receives from different regions. As the tensions continue to escalate, it remains to be seen how these developments will shape the future of the ruling party and the country's political trajectory.
