Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala has issued a social media apology to the officers of the National Police Service for his remarks that sounded to demean the officers.

Malala took to his social media accounts to offer an apology, saying his remarks were blown out of proportion.

“My attention has been drawn to a video circulating on social media about my utterances on the Police. I wish to categorically state that my remarks were taken totally out of context,” Malala wrote.

He further said the importance of police officers cannot be overlooked.

Malala also withdrew his remarks as he apologised to the police for the discomfort his remarks caused.

“It is in light of this that I wish to withdraw my remarks and apologise to our disciplined forces for the discomfort my remarks may have caused,” Malala said.


Malala came under fire from a section of Kenyans who were disgruntled over remarks he made while campaigning in Khwisero, Kakamega County on Tuesday.

While drumming up support for the Kenya Kwanza Alliance and its presidential candidate William Ruto, Malala said the work of a police officer is only to hold a gun and therefore does not need any education.
