Controversial preacher Paul Mackenzie is still in active communication with his followers despite being in prison, the government has revealed.
While linking Mackenzie to the discovery of human skulls at Kwa Binzaro in Kilifi, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen disclosed that the preacher still kept tabs with his followers, compounding efforts to contain the religious extremism prevalent at the Kenyan Coast. "One of the rescued persons told the DCI that Mackenzie called him from the cells and prayed for him through the phone.
So you can see how rampant this case of religious radicalisation is," Murkomen said during a media engagement.
Ahead of a planned exhumation exercise at Kwa Binzaro, Murkomen noted that despite concerted efforts by the State, Mackenzie's influence was still strong, putting vulnerable groups such as children at huge risk.
