Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has announced that proposed reforms on religious societies in Kenya will proceed unhindered despite opposition from a section of preachers.
He called on churches to back efforts to tame rogue preachers in the country in the wake of the revelation of the Shakahola starvation cult linked to controversial televangelist Paul Mackenzie of the Good News International Church.
Kindiki likened some preachers in the country to the foxes that devour their followers and use the scriptures as a tool to fleece them of their hard-earned money and wealth for their own selfish needs.
He also noted that the Shakahola Forest Massacre has not only affected Kilifi County but the entire country, noting that the victims hail from different regions including Nyanza, Eastern Rift Valley, Central and the Coast region.
