Wiper fires back at Hassan Omar’s after attack on Kalonzo
Wiper Patriotic Front has hit back at UDA Party Secretary General Hassan Omar following his sharp criticism of party leader Kalonzo Musyoka
The Wiper Patriotic Front has hit back at UDA Party Secretary General Hassan Omar following his sharp criticism of party leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
The exchange follows remarks by Hassan Omar in which he described Kalonzo as a ‘watermelon’ and questioned his development record despite decades in government service.
In a response on Wednesday, May 27, Wiper Party Secretary General Shakila Abdala accused Omar of political betrayal and ingratitude toward the party that previously supported his rise in politics.
Before outlining the party’s position, Abdala said Omar’s criticism reflected desperation and political inconsistency.
“Attacking the very party and leader who elevated you from obscurity to Senator and made you Wiper Democratic Movement – Kenya Secretary General exposes you as a classic political turncoat with no loyalty, no principles, and no achievements to boast of. While you mock H.E Kalonzo Musyoka for ‘no development, not even for witches,’ let us set the record straight,” the statement read.
Abdala defended Kalonzo’s leadership record and the party’s contribution to national development and governance.
“The Party, under the steady and visionary leadership of H.E. Kalonzo Musyoka, has consistently championed the interests of Kenyans, including those in the Eastern region and beyond. From infrastructure projects, water access, education initiatives, to defending constitutionalism and devolution, we have delivered where it matters without jumping from one administration to another chasing positions
“Kalonzo Musyoka has decades of service as Vice President, Cabinet Secretary, Deputy Speaker, and opposition leader, always prioritizing national unity and people-centered development over personal survival in government,” the statement added.

Abdala also turned her criticism toward the current administration, accusing Omar of failing to address challenges facing Kenyans while serving in government.
“You, on the other hand, left the Wiper party when it suited you, abandoned the opposition principles you once claimed to stand for, and rushed into government. Yet here you are, as UDA Secretary General, reduced to throwing cheap jabs instead of accounting for the failures of the current regime including runaway debt, unfulfilled promises, and economic hardships facing millions of Kenyans,” the statement further read.
The Wiper SG further referenced past controversies involving Omar during his time at the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR).
“Your attack rings especially hollow given your own controversial past. This is the same Hassan Omar who, while at KNCHR, faced serious accusations of identifying, coaching, and facilitating witnesses for the ICC cases on post-election violence.
