In the height of allegations made by the Kakamega Senator that an assassination squad has been setup to eliminate him following his stand in the revenue allocation standoff, an old clip has also emerged.
According to Ex-CS Rashid Mohammed, Malala was gifted a house with Ruto who gave him cash amounting you Sh4M to build himself a house in Milimani Kakamega. Malala was then an MCA before he rose to the ranks of Senator.
There have been accusations in the political rumors treadmills that some senators received millions from state and county officials in lobbying for favorable voting in the revenue allocation deadlock. It has also been alleged that some of these legislators didn’t keep the end of their bargain and are being pursued.
It’s unproven if Malala was paid as alleged. Malala has requested the Inspector General of Police Hilary Mutyambai to beef up his security detail claiming his life is in danger.
While addressing the Senate on Monday morning, the legislator broke down midway his speech as he narrated his ordeal claiming that there are some unknown people who want him silenced or dead.
In a letter penned by Malalah and Company Advocates, to Inspector General of Police Hilary Mutyambai, on August 27, 2020, the lawmaker has identified five police officers he claims have been hired to assassinate him.
“We are aware that a secret and specialised squad of the Special Service Unit (SSU) has been recently formed with express instructions “to keep an eye/eliminate Senator Cleophas Mlalala Wakhungu”. We are reliably informed that five members of these crack assassin policemen tasked to eliminate Senator Cleophas Malalah Wakhungu are as follows…” reads the letter in part, as it continues to name the officers.
The senator, through the law firm, also claimed the officers have met at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Executive Lounge several times, and were treated to ‘sumptuous meal’ and drinks at La Mada Hotel on Thika Road, where they discussed how to harm him.
Malala further claimed in the letter that the group also met a chief inspector attached to the Homicide department at the DCI at Eaton Hotel on Thika Road, Nairobi.
He has further claimed that group, known as “Bravo Zulu Yankee”, operates with a Subaru and has fuel card paid by ‘unknown masters.’
Malala said all the officers are armed with a semi-automatic rifle (Scorpion) with lenses and silencers, capable of downing a target from 800 metres.
DCI George Kinoti has termed as fictitious the assassination claims.
Kinoti, who appeared before the team alongside Inspector General of Police Hillary Mutyambai, said he was utterly shocked by the allegations levelled against his office by Malala.
“Why would we allocate all those resources to assassinate you for a Covid-19 offence? It does not make any sense at all,” Kinoti said.
Malala produced a photo of the alleged assassins and showed them to Kinoti. But the DCI boss swore he has never seen those people.
