West Pokot comedian and activist Dennis Kapchok Ruto (pictured) who is popularly known as Mulmulwas was at the weekend arrested in Kapenguria and brought to Nairobi over claims of hate speech against a senator. Poghisio, who is also the local senator had apparently complained to police that the post Kapchok made was malicious and was a form of harassment to him. This prompted police to move to action and traced Kapchok to Kapenguria where he was arrested and brought to the city. Kapchok shot to fame in 2018 when West Pokot Governor John Lonyangapuo referred to him as “kijana fupi, round-Mulmulwas” during a public rally in Kapenguria. Kapchok is a known entertainer in West Pokot.
