Khalwale Files Petition To Remove Malala As UDA Secretary General

Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale has petitioned the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Disputes Resolutions Committee to remove Cleophas Malala as the party’s secretary general.

In the petition, in which UDA was named as an interested party, the lawmaker accused Malala of abusing his position to exploit situations that would benefit him at the expense of the Petitioners and other party members.

He also accused him of usurping the powers and functions of the National Elections Board, the party’s only organ charged with dealing with internal party elections.

“The Petitioners will suffer irreparable personal loss and prejudice if the Honorable Committee does not intervene,” read the statement in part.

Khalwale lamented that the respondent had hired regional and county managers to oversee the upcoming grassroots elections on December 9, 2023.
