Before his defection to United Democratic Alliance Party and his eventual elevation to the post of party’s Secretary General, former Kakamega County Senator Cleophas Malala unsuccessfully contested for the Kakamega County gubernatorial seat. He was defeated by the incumbent, Fernandez Baraza of Ornage Democratic Movement Party.
Before their dalliance with President William Samoei Ruto, Malala was a key member of Armani National Congress Party led by Prime Cabinet Secretary Wycliffe Musalia Mudavadi. He was too a fierce and bold defender of former Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga before politics took its new dimension ahead of the August ninth 2022 general elections.
It should be known that Malala is among the four personalities who were recently given the nod to attend cabinet meetings despite him not holding any docket. He is seemingly putting on the shoes of former Rarieda MP Raphael Tuju who served as a minister without portfolio in the previous government of former President Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta.
Firebrand and bold Malala had taken the bull by its horns and has emerged as the key political mouthpiece of President William Samoei Ruto in Western Kenya and the country at large. His commitment to mobilize as many Kenyans as possible to register as UDA Party members has conspicuously elevated him as a key player in Ruto’s political gameplan.
The former senator has also been taking the opposition head on regarding their current anti-government demonstrations and protests against the Kenya Kwanza government. He has become a key defender of President Ruto while turning out to be one of the fiercest critics of Raila Odinga.
In his latest message to Raila, Malala has reminded the former Prime Minister that enough is enough and that the government of the day will nolonger sit pretty and watch as the opposition sabotage the government through demonstrations which lead to loss of lives and destruction of property.
He has boldly asserted that Raila should be held solely accountable for all the horrible acts that come with these protests and anti-government push.
