Fred Okang'o now says that United Democratic Alliance Secretary General Cleophas Malala is testing the patience of Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and National Assembly speaker Moses Wetang'ula with calls to have them join UDA.

According to Okang'o, who is the Kanu secretary for political affairs, Malala is determined to see their parties folded. 

Okang'o said because of this, the Western region should forget about the unity calls by their leaders.

"They say all for one and one for all, Cleophas Malala is testing the patience of Moses Wetangula and Musalia Mudavadi. He is determined to close down ANC and Ford Kenya parties. Forget about Mulembe unity, it is disunity reloaded," he said in a tweet.

His remarks followed Malala's statement on Sunday where he urged Mudavadi and Wetang'ula to fold their parties and join UDA.

He said the different parties in Kenya Kwanza were dividing the Mulembe nation in the coalition.

He gave the example of other regions like Nyanza and the Rift Valley where Opposition leader Raila Odinga and President William Ruto are their known leaders.

Malala said when it comes to the Western region they are told that they have two leaders, Mudavadi and Wetang'ula.

Malala insisted that the region cannot purport to support Ruto during the day when they are pushing for the agenda of other parties at night.

Amani National Congress (ANC) and Ford Kenya parties which form the Kenya Kwanza alliance have refused to dissolve to join the ruling UDA.

Mudavadi and Wetang'ula were the party leaders before they resigned to hold their current positions in government.
