Editor's Review

Kalonzo stated that Ali was fit for the role, given his contributions in the fight against corruption as an investigative journalist.

On Friday, August 7, former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka announced the appointment of Nyali Member of Parliament (MP)Mohamed Ali as the Wiper Deputy Party Leader.

Speaking at the Wiper Headquarters, Kalonzo stated that Ali was fit for the role, given his contributions in the fight against corruption as an investigative journalist.

He lauded the MP's commitment to guard public funds in the National Assembly, and his exemplary track record, citing the latest ranking when he emerged as the 10th best-performing lawmaker in the country.

"The Honourable Mohamed Ali becomes our Deputy Party Leader designate. He brings a name that this regime cannot buy and will not intimidate.

"That instinct to expose rather than conceal, to serve rather than extract, has not left him. As the Chairman of the Finance Committee on the Parliamentary Service Commission, Hon Ali guards public funds with the same discipline he once brought to investigative journalism," he stated.

Kalonzo stated that Ali not only represents the Coast Region, but also the young leaders who want to live in a country that respects and rewards integrity over patronage.

He also announced that Advocate of the High Court, Ndegwa Njiru, had been appointed as the Wiper Patriotic Front's Spokesperson.

"Ndegwa Njiru becomes the party's first Spokesperson; a new office created for a new struggle. Njiru is an advocate who has spent time standing between ordinary Kenyans and the arbitrary abuse of power," the Wiper Leader stated.

Kalonzo further addressed concerns of disunity among the leaders in the United Opposition. He maintained that the group was united despite the public verbal altercations between some of the leaders.

"Division is this regime's only strategy. Even if you see some disagreements between party leaders in the Opposition, please don't take that very seriously. We are united," he stated.

The Wiper Boss questioned the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Chairperson Erastus Ethekon over claims that the Commission could not conduct an election in the current environment.

He opined that the Constitution allowed IEBC to postpone elections only in areas affected by security threats, and not the entire election.
