Friday, January 30, 2026 - Former UDA Secretary General, Cleophas Malala, has set social media ablaze after remarks he made during a recent interview sparked speculation over the circumstances surrounding the death of veteran Opposition Leader, Raila Odinga.
Speaking during the interview, Malala drew parallels between
historical and recent political events, noting that when iconic politician Tom
Mboya was assassinated, his widow was later appointed as Kenya’s UNEP (United
Nations Environment Programme) Ambassador.
Malala went on to point out that Raila Odinga’s wife, Mama
Ida Odinga, has similarly been given a role linked to UNEP following her
husband’s death, a comparison that immediately ignited debate online.
While Malala did not explicitly accuse anyone, his remarks
have been widely interpreted by netizens as raising questions about
whether powerful forces may have been involved in the death of Raila.
The outspoken politician further criticized Raila’s close
allies, singling out Suna East MP, Junet Mohamed, whom he accused of being more
focused on striking political deals than demanding deeper answers about Raila’s
death.
