Amani National Congress (ANC) party officials on Thursday claimed that Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala and Nominated MP Godfrey Osotsi are secretly working with Jubilee Party to wreck Musalia Mudavadi's 2022 Presidential bid.
Speaking after meetings of the Parliamentary Group and the National Executive Council, the group, led by Parliamentary Group (PG) Chairman Ayub Savula, and Secretary General Barrack Muluka noted that they have solid evidence to prove these allegations.
The two, alongside Party leaders Sakwa Bunyasi (Nambale), Tindi Mwale (Butere), Christopher Aseka (Khwisero) and Ernest Ogesi (Vihiga) also noted that the two are strategizing to destroy Mudavadi adding that the Party is working to deal with the matter.
"We have solid evidence about the sponsorship of these efforts to tear our party apart and nip in Mudavadi's presidential ambition.

"The party will exercise options at its disposal in dealing with this matter. You cannot enjoy the benefits of being a member of our party while also working to destroy it. You had better go out there where you rightly belong," Savula was quoted by The Star.
In quick response, Malala refuted the allegations that he is a Jubilee sympathizer and is working to destroy the Mudavadi-led party.
In an interview with The Star, he affirmed that he is not shaken by the earlier party's plans to punish him over reports that he is organizing meetings against the party's wish.
On his part, Osotsi accused the ANC officials of diverting attention from their absence during the swearing-in of Raila Odinga as the People's President.

"We have the obligation to protect rule of law, democratic governance and electoral justice as NASA, for which ANC is a founding member, has done. If we are being punished for our active participation in NASA, so be it. I will not be intimidated," he stated.
