Children rescued from a cult church in Migori County have been put under the care of children officers, the Government has said.
Migori County Commissioner Kisilu Mutua said that children are innocent people who should be protected by the State when their parents mislead them.
“We have placed them in the custody of our government children’s officers to take care of them as their parents will be investigated to tell us what they are thinking about their children as schools reopen next week,” he said.
The Commissioner was speaking in response to the recent incident where 57 worshippers of St Joseph’s Messiah Mission of Africa in the Kamagambo area of Rongo Sub-county were arrested with their children over failure to go to the hospital for treatment whenever they fell sick because they claimed that they would violate their way of beliefs.
Trouble started when one of the believers, who was a soldier attached to the GSU, died mysteriously and was hurriedly buried on the church compound.
