The High Court in Mombasa has criticised the office of the Director of Public Prosecution (ODPP) for the delay of the murder trial of controversial pastor Paul Makenzi and his co-accused.
Justice Diana Mochache said it was an embarrassment for the prosecution to claim it was not ready to try the case against Makenzi and 29 others linked to the Shakahola massacre.
The judge flew in from Nairobi and was scheduled to hear the case continuously.
At least 20 witnesses were expected to testify against the 30 accused persons facing 191 counts of murder.
