Industrialization CS Betty Maina has publicly criticized MP Cleophas Malala over his alleged role in orchestrating the violent church incident in Othaya, Nyeri County. Maina accused Malala of scripting what she described as a “dangerous political play” that put innocent lives at risk, warning that such actions are unacceptable and undermine public safety.
According to Maina, political rivalry should never translate into endangering citizens or inciting violence, and leaders must be held accountable for schemes that disrupt peace. She emphasized that those involved in planning or executing the attack must face scrutiny, regardless of their political influence or standing.
Her remarks come amid a growing national outcry over the Othaya church attack, where questions continue to emerge about the motives behind the violence. Maina’s statement reinforces calls for accountability, highlighting the expectation that political figures act responsibly and prioritize the safety and welfare of the public above partisan interests.
