DCP Deputy Party Leader Cleophas Malala has been summoned to appear before officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in Kakamega on Friday, August 8.
This comes after Malala landed a helicopter at the centre of a stadium during an ongoing school games event, a move that sparked public outrage and raised questions about safety and protocol.
According to sources, the former Kakamega Senator is expected to shed more light on the circumstances surrounding his decision to use the venue — which was hosting hundreds of students — as a landing site. The incident, which was captured on video and widely circulated on social media, drew criticism from education stakeholders and members of the public who accused Malala of endangering students and disrupting a public event.
Authorities say the summons is part of a broader investigation into possible breaches of aviation regulations, public safety laws, and misuse of public spaces.
Neither Malala nor his team has commented publicly on the matter, but sources close to the politician maintain that he followed standard procedures and had necessary clearance.
Education officials in Kakamega have since called for tighter controls on public event venues to avoid similar incidents in the future.
