A Shocking Admission
An explosive audio clip of Farah Maalim, MP for Daadab and former Deputy Speaker of Kenya’s National Assembly, has surfaced. In the recording, Maalim boasts about embezzling millions of dollars during his tenure.
Speaking in Somali on Twitter Space, he reveals how he exploited his position as deputy speaker and chairman of the Parliament Liaison Committee to pocket substantial sums from the allocated parliamentary funds.
Timing and Context
The timing of this revelation is critical. Maalim is already under fire for advocating violence against 5000 Gen Z protesters who stormed Parliament to oppose the now-withdrawn Finance Bill 2024. This audio adds fuel to the controversy, portraying Maalim as both corrupt and violent.
