The Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) deputy leader Cleophas Malala has said he backs the appointment of former Kimilili MP Mukhisa Kituyi as United Opposition spokesperson and the Head of Secretariat.

Earlier, Malala had raised concerns about the United Opposition appointing senior leaders instead of younger people. 

Gachagua, however defended the move, saying there was a need to balance the senior leader and younger generation.
