On Saturday, August 2, the former Kakamega Senator landed a helicopter at the center of Mumias Complex Stadium during the national secondary school games final between Musingu High School and St. Joseph’s Kitale.
Addressing the media on Monday, August 4, Western Region Police Commander Issa Mohamud urged Malala to appear before the DCI offices in Kakamega before Friday, August 8, 2025, to record a statement over the incident.
“I call upon Cleophas Malala, the former Kakamega Senator, to report to the DCI in Western before Friday so that he can record his statement as we continue with the investigations,” said Mohamud.

“It was not an emergency landing and it was not an accident, this was reckless self-serving publicity orchestrated by Cleophas Malala who sought nothing other than political mileage and personal glorification at the expense of the safety and well-being of our children and citizens,” he stated.
Mohamud argued that landing the helicopter inside the stadium violated civil aviation rules, the Ministry of Education guidelines for the safety of children, and the penal code of the Republic of Kenya.
“This ill-advised intrusion disrupted a national school’s event, endangered lives, caused panic, and violated every protocol known for aviation,” he added.
Further, Mohamud said the incident is being investigated jointly by DCI, the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA), and the Ministry of Education.
