In a strongly worded statement released on March 12, Maina alleged that Malala held a private meeting with several Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) from Kirinyaga County who are allied to Governor Anne Waiguru.
According to her claims, the meeting took place at the Golden Palm Hotel in Kenol and was intended to create divisions within the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP).
Maina said the gathering allegedly sought to establish a splinter group that would undermine political leaders who support Gachagua within the county.
The outspoken lawmaker claimed she had reliable information that the meeting occurred between 8pm and 10pm and involved several county assembly members.
She further alleged that those who attended the meeting were facilitated with money to support the plan.
According to her statement, each MCA who participated in the discussions reportedly received KSh20,000 as part of the arrangement.
Maina argued that the alleged move is part of a broader scheme aimed at weakening Gachagua’s influence ahead of the 2027 general election.

She insisted that such political manoeuvres could destabilise the party and divide its leadership at a time when unity is needed.
The legislator also accused Malala of maintaining a pattern of soliciting money from individuals in exchange for political favours.

She claimed the behaviour dates back to the time he served as secretary general of the United Democratic Alliance.
According to Maina, internal party meetings had previously been held to address the issue and caution Malala against such practices. However, she alleged that the problem had persisted despite earlier interventions.
In her remarks, the Kirinyaga lawmaker warned Malala that his alleged actions had crossed a political “Rubicon,” signalling a point of no return in their political relationship.

She vowed to confront him politically if he continued with activities she believes are meant to undermine Gachagua’s allies.
“I want this to be on record,” Maina said in the statement, adding that she was ready for a political showdown with the DCP deputy leader.
Her comments highlight growing tensions within opposition circles as leaders begin positioning themselves ahead of the 2027 general election.

Internal divisions within the emerging political formations could complicate efforts by opposition figures seeking to challenge President William Ruto in the next presidential contest.
The public exchange between Maina and Malala reflects the broader political realignments currently shaping Kenya’s political landscape as alliances shift and leaders compete for influence across different regions.
