Linda Mwananchi Movement Disputes Malala's Role in Sifuna-Gachagua Meeting
Linda Mwananchi disputes Malala's role in meeting
The Linda Mwananchi Movement has rejected claims that Cleophas Malala facilitated a meeting between Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna and former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
According to Abigael Gikonyo, a member of the Linda Mwananchi secretariat, Sifuna has direct access to Gachagua, and did not require an intermediary to engage with him.
Background
The meeting in question was hosted by Gachagua at his Wamunyoro residence in Nyeri County, and was seen as a potential step towards a coalition between Gachagua's Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) and Sifuna's Linda Mwananchi movement.
Gikonyo cautioned against framing Malala as the broker behind the meeting, stating that it diminishes Sifuna's stature as a presidential contender.
