Second Lady Pastor Dorcas Rigathi has called for the prosecution of controversial preacher Paul Mackenzie, who is accused of manipulating his followers to fast to death.
Speaking during a feeding program for widows at the House of Grace Church Nairobi on Thursday, Pastor Dorcas noted that Kenya is governed by the constitution and that criminals should be dealt with in accordance with the law.
“If Paul Mackenzie is a criminal, he should be treated as an individual. Even his family should not be part of his crime. Paul Mackenzie is not the church, in fact, he has said he is not a pastor but he is Mr Paul,” she said.
“We have a law where when somebody is a criminal the procedure should be followed, but we cannot stand there and say because one Christian has been caught in a compromising situation, the whole body of Christ should be condemned; No, we must stop that, because it is not right.”
Pastor Dorcas, who is Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s wife, also cautioned Kenyans against victimizing the entire Church when one rogue cleric violates the law, stating that such leaders should individually be held accountable for their actions.
“A criminal is a criminal, a terrorist is a terrorist, a murderer is a murderer. Let them be taken through the law and be prosecuted…if they are guilty, let them be put behind bars,” she noted.
She added: “We cannot generalize acts of criminalism; there are billions of Christians worldwide, we cannot now say that all Christians are killers or terrorists. Likewise, just like you hear a Muslim extremist has come up and he is a terrorist, you cannot generalize and say all Muslims are terrorists.”
Mackenzie, who heads the Good News International Church, is accused of instructing his followers to fast to death in order to meet Jesus before burying them in shallow graves spread across his 800-acre land in Shakahola, Kilifi County.
So far, 103 bodies of adults and children have been exhumed from shallow graves on the land.

All foreign religions whose followers participated in slavery and global land stealing should be banned in the entire continent of COHO (Continent of Human Origins. a.k.a. Africa).
A wife married to a former president of a religious university in the USA, was once caught committing adultery with a young man, she responded responded by saying the following:
” The most important this about Christianity is that everyone makes mistakes and everyone sins. And then the whole point of Jesús Christ coming and dying on the cross was to forgive the sinners for their sins. And so, the whole hypocrisy thing is a bunch of bullshit because no one is perfect, And why am I held at a different standard because my husband was a president of a university?”
This religion has millions of thieves, liars, adulterers, murderers, con artists , psychopaths, sociopaths, narcissists, and many other bad people because they believe that no matter what they do here on earth, their sins will be forgiven and will automatically go to heaven when they die. That’s, why there are so many people in this religion.
Now these holier (Ruto,…

Blind faith. Isn’t that what…
Blind faith. Isn’t that what the Ruto/Rigathi and their wives want to prescribe to Kenyans? Move the country from the democracy that we know, to a theocracy controlled by them, and thereafter manipulate and abuse us to their satisfaction? Any regrets or sympathy they pretend to express for the victims of their fellow evil preacher Makenzi is not sincere, and they know it. Uhuru knew it all along.
