Mombasa Pastors fellowship has condemned the actions on Kilifi pastor, Paul Mackenzie, who is accused of influencing congregants to starve to death.

Led by the Pastors fellowship patron Bishop Tee Nalo, the clerics called on the government to properly investigate the actions, which have led to the loss of more than 100 lives.

"As the leadership of pastors from Coast we disassociate ourselves with Mr.Mckenzi and we condemn his actions of what we see as murder," said Bishop Nalo.

Bishop Nalo further emphasised the need for regulation in churches, saying churches should have umbrella bodies to enable them self-regulate.

"What we stand for is that churches should have umbrella bodies because we advocate for self regulation, churches need to be answerable to a body not operating on t heir own," said Nalo.

Speaking at a media briefing on Thursday, Nalo said the pastors fellowship distances itself from the actions of Mackenzie saying churches should not be victimized for mistakes committed by an individual.

"We reiterate that whatever happened in Shakahola is an isolated case and it will be very unfortunate if the church is lumped together, we want it treated as an isolated case, there are laws that should be follow," Nalo added.

They say Mackenzi church was not aligned to any umbrella body and that he took advantage of that to conduct ‘evil activities’.

On his part Kwale house of Bishops deputy patron Elphas Goda called for investigation of senior police chiefs including DCI officers to state why they never took a action when the henious acts were being conducted by Mackenzie.

"The questions we are asking ourselves is what happened to the intelligence of this nation, we want to know if there were reports, and what did they do. We want to urge that as he is being investigated, the government should also investigate the police force and DCI to say what they knew and what they did with the information that they got," said Goda.
