Cabinet Secretary Ministry of Interior and National Administration, Prof. Kithure Kindiki, is set to visit Malindi on Tuesday April 25, amidst unfolding Shakahola Forest Massacre.
In a long statement he shared via his official Facebook account on Sunday, 23 April, Kindiki termed the act committed by controversial pastor Paul Mackenzie of the New Gospel International Church an abuse of the constitutionally enshrined human right to freedom of worship.
He hinted that pastor Paul Mackenzie together with perpetrators of the mass killing of the innocent souls, must face corporal punishment corresponding to how far they deeply invaded the laws of the country and freedom of worship to the followers.
“While the State remains respectful of religious freedom, this horrendous blight on our conscience must lead not only to the most severe punishment of the perpetrator(s) of the atrocity on so many innocent souls, but tighter regulation (including self-regulation) of every church, mosque, temple or synagogue going forward.” Read in part of his statement.
He also reassured the public that there’s sufficient security deployed in the region declaring the entire forest a crime scene.
“Enough security officers have been deployed and the entire 800 acre forest is sealed off and declared a scene of crime.” He added.
