Published By admin with Comments 0
Police in Kenya discovered 40 more mass graves on Monday in their investigation into a starvation cult led by a pastor.
Authorities disinterred 12 more bodies as they kicked off the fourth phase of the exhumation process of followers linked to the controversial cult led by Paul Mackenzie.
Kenya’s Interior Minister Kithure Kindiki expressed deep concern as he announced that the death toll from the cult has reached 351.
“We will do everything positive to make sure another Shakahola tragedy does not occur in our country,” said Kindiki, referring to the Shakahola forest, where the graves were found.
“To the religious leaders opposing the government’s efforts to crack down on rogue preachers, we will not relent,” he added.
Kindiki said “there is no difference between rogue preachers misleading their congregation and terrorists.”
