Sunday, October 27, 2024 - Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka has stated that he has no apologies for expelling Dadaab MP Farah Maalim from his party.
Speaking in an interview,
Kalonzo claimed that Maalim snubbed his summons after remarks the long-term
lawmaker made in the aftermath of the Gen Z protests, prompting him to expel
him from the party.
“I called Farah Maalim, who is
the deputy party leader, to come and explain to me the basis of his remarks and
he has completely failed to show up,” noted the Wiper party leader.
Maalim sparked controversy
earlier in the year after making inflammatory remarks in his native Somali
language.
The MP, speaking in an undated
video that went viral, seemingly intimated that if he were the President of
Kenya, he would have "slaughtered 5,000 Gen Z protesters” during the
recent wave of anti-Finance Bill 2024 demonstrations.
Kalonzo was quick to point out
that the Wiper Democratic Movement distanced itself from the MP and apologised
to Kenyans for his remarks.
“The party members met and
issued a statement dissociating the Wiper Democratic Movement from those very
unfortunate statements,” Kalonzo added during the interview.
As a result, Farah Maalim
was expelled from the party upon the recommendation of Wiper’s National
Executive Council.
