Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala met with leaders from the Mount Kenya region on Monday.

This comes after Malala sparked a row with people from the region over the Deputy President’s slot in Deputy President William Ruto’s political formation.

Last Saturday, Malala said the DP slot is not a preserve for the Mount Kenya region. He insisted the DP slot in Kenya Kwanza Alliance is reserved for Amani National Congress (ANC) party.

The meeting served to iron out the tension that Malala’s remarks elicited.

Details of what was discussed during the meeting were not disclosed, however, Malala came out of it saying the people from the ‘Mulembe’ community and those from Mount Kenya will work together.
