United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Secretary General Cleophas Malala has said he seats in Cabinet to ensure President William Ruto's manifesto is well implemented.
He said as the Secretary General of the party, he has to ensure all that the president promised Kenyans during the campaigns are achieved within these five years.
"As a leader, the president has to deliver what he promised in the campaigns and it's my mandate to ensure that has happened by being part of the Cabinet," Malala said.
His presence in the Cabinet meeting had been challenged by lawyer Charles Mugane.
Mugane termed the inclusion of Malala and three others in the meeting as unconstitutional.
The three others are president’s advisers David Ndii (Economy), Monica Juma (National Security) and Harriette Chiggai (Women’s Rights).
The case will be mentioned on September 20 for further directions.
Fertilizer distribution
The UDA secretary general was speaking in Sabatia, Vihiga County, where Governor Wilber Ottichilo was commissioning the distribution of fertilizers to all five sub-counties.
The county had received subsidized fertilizers from the National government.
On the same note, the Vihiga governor urged the government and opposition to work together for the sake of the country's economy.
"Our economy is currently in a bad state and it's time to work towards reviving it and that can only be achieved if we put our differences aside as leaders," Ottichilo said.
His sentiments were echoed by other leaders who were present led by Sabatia MP Clement Sloya.
