Pastor Paul Mackenzie Likely to Face Genocide Charges over Shakahola Massacre

Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki says Pastor Paul Mackenzie could be charged with genocide for brainwashing people to fast to death in Shakahola forest, Kilifi County.

As of Tuesday afternoon, 89 bodies of people believed to have starved to death on instructions of Mackenzie had been exhumed from shallow graves on land said to be owned by the preacher.

“We are doing everything possible to ensure that Mackenzie gets the harshest punishment. I am impressed that the Director of Public Prosecutions has indicated that he is exploring charging him and his associates with terrorism but that is not enough,” Kindiki said during a visit to Shakahola forest scene.

“It is also possible to charge Mackenzie with genocide because of the magnitude of this crime. We are exploring all the (legal) books available.”

On Tuesday, police and social workers dug out 16 more bodies from mass graves linked to Mackenzie’s cult, bringing the total number of victims to 89.

Authorities suspect more followers of Mackenzie’s Good News International Church are still fasting inside the vast forest and are at risk of death if not quickly found.

Hussein Khalid, executive director of the rights group Haki Africa that tipped off the police, urged the government to send more rescuers to comb the 800-acre area of woodland for survivors.

“Each day that passes by there is very high possibility that more are dying. The horror that we have seen over the last four days is traumatizing. Nothing prepares you for shallow mass graves of children,” he told AFP. 

Inspector General of Police Japhet Koome said on Monday that 29 people had been rescued and taken to hospital.

The Kenya Red Cross said 212 people had been reported missing to its support staff in Malindi, out of which two were reunited with their families.

Mackenzie, who is in police custody as investigations continue, had been arrested in 2017 for radicalizing locals by urging them to withdraw their children from school, claiming that education was not recognized by the Bible.

    Dini zote za kigeni (ile ya marehemu mwana wa Aminah na ile nyingine ya marehemu mwana wa Mariamu) zipigwe marufuku na majumba yote yanayotumiwa kusambaza imani hii potovu za kigeni yabomolewe.
    Huwezi kusuma ya kwamba wewe ni mtu huru ikiwa:

    1. Una jina au majina ya kigeni kwenye kitambulisho chako.
    2. Unasema lugha ya kikoloni nyumbani mwako pamoja na familia yako.
    3. Unaamini imani yoyote inayotokana na kutawaliwa na watu wasiotoka kwenye bara letu.
    4. Unafuata mila zilizo na asili ya kutawaliwa na watu wasio na asili ya bara letu.
    5. Historia unayojua inatokana na kupigwa msasa (brainwashed) na watu wasio na asili ya bara letu.
    6. Unachukia nywele za asili yako ulizopewa na MUUMBAJI MKUU.
    7. Unachukia rangi ya ngozi yako uliyopewa na MUUMBAJI MKUU kabla hujazaliwa.

    SULUHISHO

    1. Tufuate nyayo za nchi kama China, India, na Japani ambazo zatilia mkazo masomo na elimu iliyo na msingi wa MELTAS ( mathematics, engineering, languages, technology, agriculture, sciences) pekee.
    2. Tusahau uongo tulioambiwa ya kwamba, kuna maisha baada ya kufa. Ni lazima tu “CHOPE.”
    Kirefu chake ni:

    Create
    Heaven
    On
    Planet
    Earth

    Tukiwa tungali hai. Hakuna maisha mengine mahali popote baada ya kufa. Tulidanganywa kuamini uongo kama huo, ili
    wakoloni wayanyakue mali yetu nasi, kwa ujinga wetu tufikirie ya kwamba kuna mahali pengine pazuri baada ya kufa??.

    3. Tutumie CTS (Critical Thinking Skills) kila siku kwenye vitendo vyetu vyote au kwa Kiswahili, KKK (Kufikiri Kwa Kina) kila wakati katika maisha yetu.

  5. What’s the difference…
    What’s the difference between Pastor Mackenzie, William Ruto & Uhuru Kenyatta?

    Pastor Mackenzie just did what William Ruto & Uhuru Kenyatta did.

    He qualifies to be an election government official in Kenya.
