Togetheinr with the UDA team we charted through rough terrain of setting up the Party structures and working hard to secure a win to Presidency under most difficult political circumstances . I gave it my all and I must pave way especially for the incoming energetic Secretary General Hon Malala who is now entrusted with pushing the vision of Kenya Kwanza Coalition to the next level . He will be serving on a full time basis .
The UDA Party is set on a foundation of prayer and great faith to transform the lives of all Kenyans. I have confidence that the incoming team is well position and equipped to lead UDA to the next level of Victory with utmost integrity .
Am grateful for all the support I was accorded by all members in various structures of the Party , including the Coordinators across the 47 counties who did a commendable job in raising the membership of UDA from 53,000 Members to a strong eight million members .
Now I will concentrate my energies at Senate with same zeal and dedication that we employed to bringing UDA to where it is .
