Wednesday, January 31, 2024 - Interior Cabinet Secretary, Prof Kithure Kindiki has declared Good News International Ministries under Paul Mackenzie as a criminal organized group.
The declaration was made on
Wednesday through a gazette notice.
"In exercise of the powers
conferred by section 22 (1) of the Prevention of Organized Crimes Act, the
Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration declares Good News
International Ministries to be an organized criminal group for the purpose of
the Act,” reads the notice.
CS Kindiki had earlier vowed to
ensure everyone responsible for the Shakahola massacre is brought to book.
He commended the journey leading
to the prosecution of the faces behind the Shakahola massacre and described it
as a step towards accountability.
"The prosecution of Paul
Mackenzie and 95 others with the mass murder of hundreds of our people at the
Shakahola Forest is the initial step in the long journey of
accountability," Kindiki said.
The Interior boss added that
those who took part in the massacre will also face the law.
"Others who by action,
inaction, conduct, or misconduct, enabled the success of this most horrendous
atrocity ever to happen on our territory in the name of religion, have their
date with justice," Kindiki added.
Mackenzie and 38 co-accused
persons were last week charged with child cruelty, torture, and denying children
the right to education.
The suspects denied the charges
before Tononoka Children’s Court principal magistrate Nelly Chepchirchir.
