It was initially excluded from the drama festival under unclear circumstances, but the Supreme Court ruling canceled the decision and ordered it to include it.

Tensions erupted in the western town of Nakuru on Thursday morning when the students went out of the place, demanding the release of the author of the play, Clevas Malala, who was detained by the police.

The former screenwriter and Senator who formulated the production of students from Butteri School for Girls, by the police, was banned from the students’ interview to obtain final rehearsals on Wednesday evening.

Malala was released later without charge and praised the students of their intersection on the play.

The Minister of Education, Julius Ogamba, asked about the participation of Malala in the competition, saying that the politician was neither a teacher nor a play manager.

The senior judge, Martha Kuoum, said that the detention of Malala is opposed to the court’s order that the play and its author are allowed to participate in the competition.

She added: “The challenge of the courts’ orders not only undermine the authority of the courts, but also a serious threat to the rule of law, which is the basis in our society.”

The prominent opposition figure Kalonzo Musioka condemned the police for launching tear gas near students, praising the “courage” girls to refuse to perform.

In a statement, the Orange Democratic opposition (ODM) demanded that students be allowed to organize their toys like all other competitors.
