The Ministry of Education has dismissed allegations that it stopped Butere Girls High School students from performing their controversial play, "Echoes of War," at the National Drama Festivals held in Nakuru County.
Addressing the press on Thursday afternoon, Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba said the students voluntarily declined to perform and instead resorted to chanting former United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Secretary General Cleophas Malala's name.
According to the education minister, moments after their arrival, the learners began chanting Malala's name, demanding his release by the police officers.
While briefing journalists, Ogamba expressed concerns about the learners' motive behind the chants, further questioning whether Malala was their teacher.
