In a strongly worded statement issued on December 2, 2024 by the party's secretary general Shakilla Abdalla, the party advised its MCAs, both elected and nominated against taking part in the malicious impeachment motion.

Kitui Residents won't forget Kaluki Ngilu's Evils

Image
Reject Kaluki Our Reporter  Kaluki Ngilu is evil, and bewitchingly cunning.  After being hounded out of town by the strong wave of Governor Malombe in 2022 and going into oblivion, the queen of lies and pretence is crawling back like a discharged tapeworm. Her launch pad seems to be in funerals, and other somber events where Kaluki wants to pretend to offer a leaning shoulder while shedding crocodile tears.  That statement is by no means a way of being heartless to families that may have lost their loved ones. This desk commiserates with such bereaved families and prays that they find strength to bear the loss. Salivating over county coffers... However, what is nauseating and revolting is how Kaluki thinks she can use such somber occasions to relaunch her comeback to the county leadership. Kaluki has not changed one bit. We have seen how she rolls her serpent eyes and cries more than the bereaved, while spraying her disinterested audience with lies and hate in equal measu...
