“The appointment of Hon Cleophas Malala as the interim Secretary General of the UDA party is hereby revoked. These changes are effective immediately,” read part of the statement.
The Executive meeting also resolved to appoint Hassan Omar Hassan as the Acting Secretary General after the dismissal of Malala from the position of the Secretary General, UDA.
According to the party, the decision to dismiss Malala was reached after wide and consultative deliberations on the next course of action following the recent unfolding within UDA.
This comes just days after goons stormed UDA offices demanding the reinstatement of Cleophas Malala as the Party secretary General after Joe Khalende declared himself as the new SG, propelling Malala’s ouster.
In the video that went viral, the goons who were holding placards went further and roughed up Joe Khalende who sustained serious injuries to his head after the commotion.
