Former United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Secretary General, Cleophas Malala, has asked President William Ruto to dissolve the government, arguing that it no longer represents the will of Kenyans.
In a statement released on Saturday, May 10, Malala asked Ruto to reset the government's institutions, restore constitutional order, and establish clear presidential legitimacy. "It is my unequivocal view that the president must act in the highest interest of the Republic by dissolving the government and seeking a fresh mandate from the people, this time with his newly assembled, patchwork coalitions of so-called 'broad-based partners'," his statement reads.
He made these remarks after the Court of Appeal on May 9, declared that Deputy Chief Justice Philemona Mwilu's decision to empanel a three-judge bench to listen to the impeachment case involving former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was unconstitutional President William Ruto (left) greets former UDA Secretary General Cleophas Malala at the party headquarters in Nairobi on April 2, 2024.
