Former sports cabinet secretary (CS) Rashid Echesa has revealed how Kakamega senator Cleophas Malala ate DP William Ruto’s millions of money and still ended up throwing an egg on his face.
While speaking to a local media station, Rashid Echesa gave a blow by blow account of how the Kakamega senator took money from the second in command in a bid to use the same to build a house.
The former cabinet secretary revealed how he took money from the deputy president on several occasions and gave it to Mr. Cleophas Malala.
At first, the Kakamega senator had bought land and did not have money to build a house. As a result, Malala sent Echesa to request Ruto some money which the deputy president gave out in batches of 3 million, 2.5 million and 1.5 million respectively.
“Cleophas anasimama anajifanya anatukana naibu wa rais anasema naibu wa rais ni mwizi. Ndugu yangu unajua sometimes i look at these leaders and i fail to understand them.
I didn’t want to be personal but since you have brought up this topic, let me discuss it once and for all I will never discuss about it and whatever I will say here if he feels he wants to challenge me he can even call to challenge me.
“I took Cleophas Malala akiwa MCA wa Lumakanda ward nikampeleka kwa naibu wa rais Eldoret kwa nyumba yake private inakuanga pale town. Na ata Cleophas mwenyewe confessed in a church in Kakamega before the deputy president akasema nilimpeleka kwa nyumba ya deputy president for the first time akaona deputy president akipika chai kwa nyumba yake.
“Nikaenda nika introduce yeye for the first time kwa William Ruto. Cleophas akaambia deputy president challenge ako nayo hana nyumba anaishi kwa rental house. Deputy president akamwambia there is no problem wewe ongea na Rashid wacha niangalie maneno kidogo nitatuma Rashid.
“Deputy president called me after a month akaniambia uyu kijana wako alikuwa anajenga nyumba what do we do does he have a land? Nikamwambia ako na shamba. Deputy president William Ruto alinipatia three million Kenya shillings nikaenda nikapatia Malala akaanza kujenga nyumba yake pale Milimani Kakamega.
Akajenga nyumba kufika kwa roofing akasema pesa imeisha akatumia deputy president message. Dp akaniuliza kwani mlikuwa mnajenga nini nikamwambia ni kagorofa kanajaribu kujenga.
Akaniita tena akanipia 2.5 million na nataka Cleophas Malala aseme ni uongo. Nikapatia Cleophas Malala yote ilikuwa 5.5 million Cleophas akajenga iyo nyumba karoof akaweka mpaka mabati.
“kumaliza akasema hana pesa ya finishing. Mimi Rashid Mohamed Deputy president akaniuliza ni nini hii mnajenga? Mnajenga godown ama mnajenga nyumba ya mtu kuishi nikamwambi uyu rafiki yangu amelemewa.
“Deputy president aliniita mimi na Malala ofisi yake akapatia Malala 1.5 million akanipatia mimi 1.5 million akaambia Malala enda malizia nyumba. Today my brother if i see Cleophas Malala mebele ya madhabau mbele ya wananchi watu wana mourn, unaita mtu ambaye alikupatia pesa ukajenga nyumba unazalia ndani watoto mwizi my brother?
“Let him challenge me you know it is not fair!! Anaenda kuambia kanisa msikubali pesa ya naibu wa rais ni pesa ya wizi. Mimi nataka ku challenge Malala aangushe iyo nyumba kwanza akuwe mfano number one aseme hi nyumba ilijengwa na pesa ya wizi ndio sasa watu wa makanisa waseme hatutaki fundraising.
