Raila's entry to the state raises concerns in the west
Malala also warned the President William Ruto Against the intervention of the main positions held by the Luhya community in the first Kenyan administration.
He claimed that due to reports by Raila Odinga to officially join the Ruto government, the position of Secretary -General of the Cabinet, which is currently held by Musalia Mudavadi, could be at stake.
“Even next week, I hear Raila Odinga He joins the Ruto government, and wants the prime minister's seat, which belongs to Musalia Mudavadi. We must tell you Mr. President not to touch the seats of our people. We must protect our community and respect the nation of the Luhya, ” He said.
Has Ruto set aside in western Kenya development?
Malala criticized the removal of Amako Anangango as chairman of the University of Nairobi, and cited it as part of a broad program against the western region.
He also blamed Ruto for ignoring Western Kenya and favoring Nyanza during his development visits, despite the old ones giving him more votes in previous elections.
“In terms of development, I would ask the President to distinguish the West and Nyanza regions. We are the ones who voted, but when it comes to development all projects go to them while we don't get anything, ” Malala was safe.

He also criticized Raila and a resolution coalition for fooling former Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya for promising the post of Treasury Cabinet Secretary, and immediately excluding him from the government.
“When they had the opportunity, they gave the minister the treasurer and gave it to Oparanya something worthless like the Hustler Fund. And you know, with the Hustler Fund, you just hit the codes and make money directly – Oparanya is not involved anywhere in the middle,” Malala complained.
Malala called on the nation of Mulembe to unite and protect their political interests. He also called on Ruto, who is today expected to attend the Malulu Injendi funeral, to introduce Western Kenya in development and to increase financial incentives for sugar farmers in the Kabras area of Kabras.
“We saw Mumias when it came, the president – it gave a bonus to sugar cane farmers there. For the people of Kabras, who are the main sugarcane farmers in western Kenya, if you donated KSh 150 million in Mumias, we want to offer KSh 300 million Kabras because we have two sugar factories here, ” Malala said.
Malala Praise the Political Freedom of Injendi
In a hidden criticism of the Luhya leaders in the Ruto government, Malala praised the late Malulu Injendi as a politician with the principles that stood firm in his faith.
He praised the fallen MP for being a strong leader who always went the opposite.
“In 2013, when all Kakamega leaders joined Cord's Raila Odinga coalition, Injendi contested and won. In 2017, when many competed under NASA, he stood with the Jubilee. In 2022, while others changed the side, only the remainder was left. Malulu Injendi was a true leader, ” Malala said.
