Khalwale Faces UDA Expulsion Over Disloyalty Following Anti-Ruto Position In Malava


Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale may be at risk of losing his role as Senate Majority Whip after the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) issued a disciplinary notice due to his support for a rival candidate in the upcoming Malava Constituency by-election set for November 27.

  Charles Njenga, Chairperson of UDA’s Disciplinary Committee, stated that the party has granted the outspoken legislator a period of fourteen days to respond to claims that he actively campaigned for Democratic Action Party Kenya (DAP–K) candidate Seth Panyako, rather than endorsing UDA’s candidate David Ndakwa.

Njenga further indicated that Khalwale’s actions represent disloyalty to the party that facilitated his election as Senator for Kakamega County, emphasizing that his public support for a rival candidate constitutes serious misconduct under the party’s constitution. “Your involvement and actions clearly indicate allegiance to another political party, which amounts to conduct unbecoming and disloyalty to the United Democratic Alliance Party,” the letter continues. Anti-party stance The committee referenced Article 75 of the Constitution of Kenya, along with Articles 68 and 69 of the UDA Constitution, which mandate members to maintain party discipline and advocate for its interests. Njenga pointed out that, as a senior member of the party, Khalwale is expected to promote the party and adhere strictly to its Code of Conduct. Khalwale has been instructed to provide justification within fourteen days as to why disciplinary measures should not be imposed against him.

Pressure is increasing on the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to relocate Principal Hellen Mabese Luhangala of Tengecha Girls High School

Image
As the third term approaches its conclusion, stakeholders at Tengecha Girls High School in Kericho County are fervently urging the TSC to facilitate the transfer of Principal Hellen Mabese Luhangala.   In a conversation with Citizen Daily News, conducted under strict anonymity due to concerns of retaliation, parents and certain members of the local community assert that Hellen has remained in her position for an extended period without any visible development projects to demonstrate her leadership. The local community is now requesting that the TSC appoint a new principal in January, ideally someone who is a “daughter of the soil.” They allege that she has become adept at leading through authoritarian methods, coercion, intimidation, and threats against those who oppose her alleged involvement in corrupt practices, which have resulted in the misappropriation of public funds during her tenure. Furthermore, it is reported that she employs intimidation tactics against members of th...

  The most recent report from the Auditor General for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, has uncovered mismanagement at Enoomatasiani High School under the administration of Principal Tabitha Mbabu (TSC No. 224359). There are calls for her transfer over mismanagement and not very impressive academic excellence under her leadership. As per the report, the statement of receipts and payments indicates that the school's fund income from parents' contributions amounts to Kshs. 89,627,445, as detailed in Note 4 of the financial statements. An examination of the school's fee structure during the review period revealed that the school fees were raised beyond the limits set by the Ministry of Education (MOE), resulting in an unauthorized increase in annual fees of Kshs. 15,000 for form one students and Kshs. 18,000 for students in other classes. This action contravenes Regulation 44 of the Basic Education Regulations, 2015, which stipulates that no public school or instit...
