Days after former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka announced the expulsion of Dabaab Member of Parliament Farah Maalim, Wiper’s National Executive Committee (NEC) has approved the decision.

Addressing the press on Wednesday, January 22, 2025, Wiper Secretary General, Shakilla Abdalla confirmed that the party’s NEC had agreed to throw out the lawmaker.

The Nominated Senator added that following Wiper NEC’s decision, Farah Maalim would cease holding the position of Deputy Party leader

“The National Executive Committee has approved the expulsion of Farah Maalim as Deputy Party leader which was announced by our party leader on January 15, 2025,” Shakilla stated while reading out the NEC’s resolutions.

Kalonzo’s decision

Kalonzo took the bold decision of kicking out the controversial lawmaker after he hurled expletives and unprintable adjectives towards the youthful Gen Zs who criticize the government online.

He made the sentiments in the presence of President William Ruto who had called for proper upbringing of the youth who he insisted were going wayward following the advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and social media tools.

The self-proclaimed opposition leader told the press that Maalim had violated the party’s constitution.

“For the avoidance of doubt, honourable Farah Maalim who until now has been Wiper Democratic Party Deputy Leader stands expelled from the Wiper Democratic Movement for violating the constitution and the rights of Kenyans and even abusing Kenyan mothers,” Kalonzo Musyoka announced.

According to the Political Parties Act, a member of a political party may only be expelled from that political party if the member has infringed the Constitution of the political party and after the member has been afforded a fair opportunity to be heard in accordance with the internal party disputes resolution mechanisms as prescribed in the Constitution of the party.

Wiper did not immediately explain if they had forwarded Maalim’s name to the Register of Political Parties for his title to be expunged from Wiper’s records.

During the anti-Finance Bill 2024 protests, Maalim also made headlines following an interview in his local dialect where he vowed to clamp down on the youthful protesters.

Following his sentiments, he was summoned by the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) to shed light his remarks.

Wiper Party then vowed to take action on the outspoken legislator.
