Former Kakamega senator Cleophas Malala faced trouble at a Nakuru club Friday night when unknown people attacked him. His Toyota Land Cruiser suffered heavy damage during the incident. Police brought the vehicle to Nakuru Central station as they began their investigation. Witnesses say club-goers started singing anti-government songs after the DJ announced Malala's presence.
The attack happened amid controversy surrounding Malala's play, Echoes of War, which addresses Kenya's governance issues. The play became a hot topic after being disqualified from regional drama festivals, only for a High Court ruling to reinstate it. More drama unfolded Wednesday when officials blocked Malala from entering Kirobon Girls' school. Actors from Butere Girls later refused to perform, saying they faced harassment.
Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen denied the government censored the play. He stated he merely criticized "political activists" being involved with student education. Murkomen emphasized that teachers should handle students according to professional standards. No arrests have been made as police continue investigating the motive behind the attack on Malala.
