Recent reports indicate that law enforcement authorities and DCI investigators have been successful in saving another two adults from the mass grave at Shakahola, bringing the total number of rescued individuals to 64. The two adults, a man and a woman, were found alive during the ongoing search in the Shakahola Forest.
The Coast Regional Commander Rhoda Onyancha delivered the latest information. This successful rescue operation comes after Interior Ministry Secretary Kithure Kindiki prohibited lawmakers from visiting the Shakahola burying yard. Kindiki emphasized that the facility is a command center, and as such, no one should be permitted to politicize the issues. Instead, he urged leaders to give the DCI and other security agencies the opportunity to perform their jobs.
It is essential to note that Mackenzie is still being held in jail, and Amin Mohammed, the head of the DCI, has been ordered to investigate Ezekiel’ s bank and Mpesa accounts. Mackenzie is accused of enticing his followers to fast until death to see God, and his arrest is linked to the discovery of over one hundred dead bodies at the Shakahola farm. The government has also initiated measures to control churches across the nation as a direct consequence of this. This move has been supported by a number of influential people.
In light of recent developments, there have been calls for Paul Mackenzie to be sentenced to life imprisonment. This has been in response to the heinous crimes committed by Mackenzie and the severity of the situation. It is important to note that the justice system must be allowed to run its course, and Mackenzie must be given a fair trial. The decision of his sentence ultimately lies in the hands of the court, and it is not up to the public to make this determination.
The ongoing exhumation of remains from the mass grave at Shakahola has been a distressing situation for Kenyans. However, the recent success in rescuing two more individuals from the grave has given hope that there may be more survivors. It is crucial for the government to continue supporting the DCI and other security agencies in their efforts to uncover the truth and bring justice to those affected. Additionally, it is important for the public to allow the justice system to run its course and not take matters into their own hands.
