Muturi calls on Hassan Omar to resign as UDA Secretary General
By Cynthia Lodite, April 23, 2026Former Attorney General Justin Muturi has demanded the resignation of UDA Secretary General Hassan Omar, while accusing the Party employees of failing to remit statutory deductions, including SHA and the Housing Levy.
In a statement on his Official X account on Thursday, April 23, 2026, Muturi revealed that an audit exposed how employees of the ruling party have not been remitting the very statutory deductions they aggressively push on Kenyans.
“What has now come to light is not just disturbing, it is a blatant insult to every Kenyan who has been forced to comply with punitive deductions. An audit has exposed that employees of the ruling party have not been remitting the very statutory deductions they aggressively push on wananchi, SHA, the Housing Levy, and others, with over KSh 60 million unaccounted for,” Muturi stated.
On his part, Muturi, while slamming the Party’s Secretary General, further accused him of betraying public trust, noting that failure to remit statutory deductions is a criminal offence.
“It is a calculated betrayal of public trust. Failure to remit statutory deductions is a criminal offence. It is not optional. It is not negotiable. It is the law. For that reason, the Secretary General of UDA, Hassan Omar, must be held to account,” Muturi explained.
At the same time, Muturi has demanded that Omar step forward and answer the allegations.
“He should step forward immediately and answer to these serious allegations. Leadership is not about issuing directives from a distance, it is about taking responsibility when systems under your watch fail. You cannot build credibility on enforcement while practicing exemption,” Muturi stated.
Likewise, Muturi slammed the government for demanding sacrifice from citizens while shielding itself from the same burden.
“Yet within the ruling party, there is a different reality, one of avoidance, non-compliance, and quiet privilege. This confirms what many have long suspected: this system is not designed with the people in mind. It is imposed on them,” he added.
In addition, the former Attorney questioned the government in what he describes as lack of moral authority in enforcing its own policies
“A government that does not believe in its own policies has no moral authority to enforce them. We must ask: if they cannot trust the very system they created, why should Kenyans? The country deserves honesty. It deserves fairness. And above all, it deserves leadership that leads by example, not one that plays by a separate set of rules,” Muturi stated.
