  • The mole Ruto planted in Mudavadi’s camp

    The mole Ruto planted in Mudavadi’s camp

    The outspoken Kakamega Senator Bwana Cleophas Malala is a confirmed DP William Ruto’s operative planted in Amani National Congress party’s inner circles to fetch secrets and pass to Ruto who bought him off when he was struggling to build his Kakamega home.

    Malala was introduced to the Deputy President by the former Sports Secretary, Rashid Echesa in 2016. He was lacking funds to build his house when when Ruto gave him Sh3 million shillings and several hand outs afterwards. But having his houses funded by other men is his thing, even his Kitengela home is said to have been funded by the flashy Mombasa governor Hassan Joho.

    He has financial relationships with the bosses of rival parties but still in Mudavadi’s ANC summit where he is not building but leak the former VP’s classifieds and strategies to political rivals. The first term senator and former Mahiakalo ward MCA now has eyes set on the county’s top seat which will fall vacant when governor Oparanya’s term expires next year.

    Malala plans to run on ANC party ticket where he pretends to be a die hard supporter of Wycliffe Musalia Mudavadi but he dines and wines with DP Ruto at night. He has been spotted leaving the DP’s Karen at the dead of the nights on several occasions.

    But this mole has been controversial like that even when he played the same role for ODM till August 2020 when their relationship ended in tears. Before his return from ODM, Malala was so defiant to Mudavadi that he even dared ANC party to occasion a senatorial in November 2019. He was hyped because the same ODM that unceremoniously kicked him out last year was ready to hand him a direct ticket then.

    He survived a possible expulsion from the party courtesy of ODM ties but later played the orange party when he signed a new snitching contract with the DP Ruto who wants to be Kenya’s next president.

    Malala went back to ANC last year and has been one of the most vocal leaders elected on ANC ticket who are pushing Mudavadi to go for presidency. But he is a Mudavadi man during the day and Ruto’s hench-boy at night. ODM leader Raila Odinga also accused him of pocketing handouts from competing camps in August last year when young senator complaint that gunmen were trailing him.

    He is now deep into UDA’s affairs in Western region and Kakamega where the DP appears to favor him over former Kakamega senator Boni Khalwale who is doing funeral politics with UDA leaders in Ukambani. Khalwale is also eyeing Kakamega gubernatorial seat through UDA ticket but Malala’s close friendship with Ruto might jeopardize his ambitions.

     

  • ODM chickens out of Matungu petition

    ODM chickens out of Matungu petition

    Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) have abandoned a by-election petition where their man David Were was challenging the victory of ANC’s Peter Nabulindo. The Raila Odinga led party chickened out of the petition after noticing loopholes in their case and witnesses who could not answer many questions.

    ODM had lined up Moftat Mandela, Nabii Nabwera, Boniface Odunga and Mercy Akoth as their key witnesses but upon cross examination by lawyers Michael Osundwa for Nabulindo, Charles Malala for Senator Cleophas Malala and Moni Mukele of IEBC, the ODM witnesses gave contradicting statements in their own sworn affidavits and those in police records.

    The party insiders who were pushing for the petition like governor Wycliffe Oparanya have now left Were to carry his own cross as they embark marketing Raila Odinga’s 2022 presidential bid.

    This is after their witnesses Mandela and Nabii claimed that they were blocked by Senator Malala’s goons while on their way to Mwira Primary School polling station but the two contradicted the time of the attack.

    Another ODM witness, Odunga, claimed in his affidavit that he was shot by Malala’s bodyguard Joel Wekesa when he queued to vote at Munami polling station but he is a registered voter at Namberekea Primary School.

    But Mercy Akoth stated in her affidavit that she was abducted at gunpoint while in her home in Munami by Senator Malala and goons and then tortured for over 30 minutes but in police records she claimed that she lost Sh100,000 to ANC supporters.

    The disorganization within ODM luminaries who crafted the petition has now left Were confused as he admitted that he did not personally scrutinize final results declared on Form 35B and polling stations results declaration in Form 35A.

    Were has even revealed that he pushed to file the petition by Kakamega governor Wycliffe Oparanya who doubles up as the deputy leader of the ODM party. Oparanya felt that the loss had exposed him as a deputy party leader who plays a small role to market the party in his Luhya backyard and nationally.

    Abandoned Were sold his parcel of land in Nairobi to fund his campaigns in a by-election that was occasioned by the death of Justus Murunga who succumbed to covid-19 in late 2020.

    Were who once held the Matungu seat but lost to the late Murunga of ANC in 2017 has also been abandoned by local ODM MCAs who are trooping to Nabulindo’s camp as ODM continues to lose the grip of Kakamega County.

    Once prominent NASA hypeman, founder and ANC Party Leader Musalia Mudavadi alias MaDvD, has handed his political journey and career to fictitious people with ‘book history’ calling themselves advisors- a political hogwash move that has rendered him non-viable since the birth of UhuRaila Handshake.
