Thursday, January 16, 2025 – Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has finally acted on his threat by expelling Dadaab Member of Parliament Farah Maalim from the party.
In a statement yesterday, Wiper
leader Kalonzo Musyoka announced that the decision was undertaken following the
recent remarks made by the MP.
Kalonzo stated that the decision
would take effect immediately, further expressing concern over the conduct of
the MP.
Prior to his expulsion from
Wiper, Maalim was also the deputy party leader.
"For the avoidance of
doubt, Farah Maalim who until now has been the Wiper party's deputy stands
expelled from the Wiper Democratic Movement for violating the constitution and
the rights of Kenyans," he announced.
Maalim has come under sharp
criticism from Kenyans in recent days following remarks he made during
President William Ruto's tour of the South Rift.
According to critics, the
remarks were offensive and abusive to women in Kenya.
On the flip side, Maalim is
expected to continue serving as an MP despite the expulsion.
The 2010 Constitution does not
provide for a scenario where an MP can lose his/her seat if they are expelled
from the party that sponsored them to Parliament.
