The former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua has reacted after the former Kakamega senator Hon Cleo Malala was arrested by the DCI. According to his Facebook page, he condemned the arrest. “The use of the criminal justice system to suppress creativity and social audit has reached alarming proportions.

It is a shame of unimaginable proportion that dozens of DCI detectives in five vehicles have been dispatched to arrest and intimidate Senator Cleophas Malala for writing a script that has won its way to the National Drama festival in Nakuru.

The satirical play – Echoes of War – that strongly captures the lying culture of this administration, is innocent in itself in the literary universe, just to explain to those who feel threatened.

In any case, the detectives will harass the messenger, but the message remains; this action only creates more awareness of the literary piece and the message.”
