The burial of slain Kisa East MCA Stephen Maloba has been postponed from April 22 to an unknown date by family members and a funeral committee citing the need to keep the case alive.

Maloba was stabbed to death on April 1, at a political event organised by Khwisero MP Christopher Aseka at Munjiti village in Kisa East Ward.

A crowd accosted him as he headed to the meeting before one person stabbed him in the chest. He died at Mbale County Hospital in Vihiga County.

Maloba’s death sparked attacks from villagers who stormed Mutsasa police post, chased away police officers, vandalised property and stole 124 bags of subsidised fertiliser belonging to the Kakamega County government.

They then proceeded to the home of Kisa East chief Walter Mukungu and destroyed property of unknown value, including houses, which they set on fire.

Following the murder, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations transferred several officers at the Khwisero sub-county criminal investigations office.

On Thursday, Maloba’s widow, Rael Andeso, and funeral committee chairman Gabriel Erambo said the family decided to postpone the burial because they had been denied justice as some of the people who attacked Maloba were still going scot-free.

They accused the police of laxity in the investigation, saying this had given unwarranted liberty to some of the criminals.

A main suspect was arrested and presented in court. The police however, requested 14 days to complete investigations into the killing.
