Paul Mackenzie was detained in April last year after hundreds of bodies were found in mass graves.
Most showed signs of starvation, but some – children among them – may have been assaulted.
MacKenzie, a self-proclaimed pastor accused of leading a doomsday cult, has denied responsibility for the deaths.
Prosecutors have said they will charge him and 94 others with murder, manslaughter, terrorism and torture.
But on Wednesday, they asked a court in the coastal town of Malindi for more time in order to determine if MacKenzie and 30 other suspects are mentally fit to stand trial.
