UDA Secretary-General Hon. Sen. Cleophas Malalah has issued a strong statement emphasizing the importance of discipline and respect within the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
Malalah expressed concerns over reports of indiscipline among some UDA elected leaders. He stated that certain individuals have shown blatant disrespect to the party leadership, including the Presidency, which he deemed unacceptable.
The Secretary-General specifically called out Githunguri MP Hon. Gathoni Wa Muchomba, Kapseret MP Hon. Oscar Sudi, and Nyeri Governor Hon. Mutahi Kahiga for their recent conduct, which he stated undermines party unity and disrespects the leadership.
“Your recent conduct not only undermines the party’s unity but also disrespects the leadership that you pledged to serve. Let this be a stern warning: desist from such actions with immediate effect. Should this behavior persist, the party will take disciplinary action against you,” Malalah stated emphatically.
UDA Warning Message
He also mentioned Hon. Moses Kuria, Cabinet Secretary for Public Service, Gender, and Affirmative Action, and Hon. Kipchumba Murkomen, Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport.
Malalah urged them to focus on their ministerial responsibilities, particularly highlighting the urgent need for road repairs following recent floods.
“Hon. Moses Kuria, your primary responsibility is to serve the people within your docket. Should you wish to engage in politics, you are welcome to resign and join the political arena. Similarly, Hon. Kipchumba Murkomen, your focus should be on addressing the pressing issues in your ministry. Serve the Kenyan people or step down from your position and return to politics,” he asserted.

In addition, Malalah addressed the issue of early campaigning by young UDA politicians aiming for the 2032 elections.
He further called on them to halt these premature activities and concentrate on serving their constituents, warning that early campaigning distracts from their current responsibilities and disrespects the electorate’s trust.
“Your current mandate is to serve your constituents. Early campaigning not only distracts from your responsibilities but also disrespects the trust placed in you by the electorate. Should you continue with these premature campaigns, the party will take stern disciplinary action against you,” he cautioned.
