The High Court in Kakamega barred the police from arresting, charging, or harassing former Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala over the alleged illegal landing of a helicopter at Mumias Complex Stadium on August 2.
Lady Justice Alice Chepngetich Bett on Tuesday certified Malala’s application as urgent and directed it to be heard interparties on August 20, 2025.
She directed that the petition and supporting application be served on the Inspector General of Police, the Director of Criminal Investigations, the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Attorney General, and the Western Region Police Commander by close of business on August 13.
The respondents have three working days thereafter to file their responses.
In the meantime, the court issued a conservatory order restraining the respondents, their agents, or anyone acting on their instructions from arresting, prosecuting, intimidating, or otherwise interfering with Malala’s liberty or that of his associates in connection with the incident.
