In a statement released on Wednesday, UDA officials highlighted recent actions and statements by the three politicians that were deemed disrespectful and detrimental to the party's unity. The leadership stressed that such behavior would not be tolerated and that disciplinary measures could be taken if the conduct continued.
"We have observed with concern the repeated instances of disrespect towards the party leadership by MPs Gathoni wa Muchomba and Oscar Sudi, as well as Governor Mutahi Kahiga," read the statement. "Their actions are not in line with the values and principles that UDA stands for. We expect all party members to adhere to the highest standards of conduct and to show respect for the leadership."
The statement did not specify the exact remarks or actions that prompted the warning but emphasized the party's commitment to maintaining discipline and cohesion among its members. UDA officials called for the politicians to align with the party's directives and to cease any activities that could be construed as undermining the leadership.
"We are committed to upholding the integrity of UDA and ensuring that all members work towards the common goal of advancing our party's agenda. Disciplinary action will be taken if necessary to preserve the unity and strength of our party," the statement concluded.
The warning to Gathoni wa Muchomba, Oscar Sudi, and Mutahi Kahiga underscores the ongoing challenges within UDA as it navigates internal disagreements and attempts to present a united front. As the political landscape in Kenya remains highly dynamic, how these leaders respond to the party's directive will be closely watched by both supporters and opponents alike.
