UDA Secretary-General Malalah from the fold to the cold
The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) has sacked its Secretary-General, Cleophas Malalah.
In a statement on Friday, August 2, 2024, the ruling party noted that the party would be taking a raft of governing and administrative measures to accelerate its agenda and to set forth a distinctive path of inclusive, participative, and consultative organisation.
“In the meantime, upon wide and consultative deliberations, and in compliance and in accordance with its mandate under Article 8.2 of the Party Constitution, the National Executive Committee has determined to designate the Vice-Chairperson, Hon. Hassan Omar Hassan, to act as the Secretary-General on an interim basis. The appointment of Cleophas Malala as the interim Secretary General is hereby revoked. These changes are effective immediately,” UDA noted.
The sacking comes just days after the party witnessed a standoff at its Ngong Road headquarters where a self-imposed Secretary-General Joe Khalende, who is a lawyer, was badly hurt.
