The Kenyan political landscape is currently shaking following a bombshell interview by former UDA Secretary General Cleophas Malala. Speaking on Radio 47, Malala dropped a cryptic teaser about his upcoming theatrical production titled “Who Killed Amolo.” This announcement has sent shockwaves through the nation, as “Amolo” is a middle name famously associated with the late opposition doyen, Raila Odinga.
While the title suggests a fictional narrative, Malala’s commentary during the interview implies that the play is a vessel for explosive truths that the current establishment and former allies would rather keep buried.
Malala questioned the mysterious circumstances surrounding the final days of the political giant. He pointed out glaring inconsistencies in the behavior of Raila’s inner circle during his illness and eventual passing. Specifically, he raised eyebrows over why key allies like Junet Mohamed and Gladys Wanga were absent during the repatriation of the body from India. “Why was there such a rush to replace him before the body even landed?” Malala posed, suggesting a calculated betrayal by those who claimed to be the leader’s closest confidants.
Furthermore, Malala hinted at a deeper conspiracy involving the state. He questioned the lack of security at the airport and Parliament during the viewing, suggesting that the chaos was “purposeful.” According to Malala, the confusion was a smokescreen used by the government to sign controversial bills, including those allowing the forced acquisition of land and the sale of state assets without parliamentary approval.
This play, he claims, will “open the eyes of Kenyans” to the reality of how power was shifted and how the “Amolo” legacy was allegedly auctioned off for political seats. As the nation awaits the debut of this play, the tension between the government and the opposition continues to mount, with many wondering if Malala is holding the ultimate smoking gun.
