After their arrest at The People’s regional office in Kakamega, Amos Majisu and Vincent Maluti were taken to the local police headquarters and interrogated for several hours about an article that ran in the June 10 edition of The People, alleging that police officers in Malava, a small rural town in western Kenya, had sexually assaulted three local women on May 24. No actual rape occurred, because the women bribed their attackers with 200 shillings each, CPJ sources say. The three women later contacted Majisu and Maluti to denounce the officers.
