CS Kindiki Takes Charge: Overseeing Postmortem of 125 Exhumed Bodies in Shakahola
Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki is set to revisit Kilifi County today, specifically on Thursday, to take charge of the initiation of postmortem examinations for an additional 125 bodies that have been exhumed in Shakahola forest.
This marks the second phase of the exhumation efforts, bringing the total number of recovered bodies from the forest to 253.
The postmortem examinations will be conducted at the Malindi Sub-County Hospital, under the supervision of Cabinet Secretary Kindiki.
The recovered bodies are believed to belong to individuals who were victims of a cult led by pastor Paul Mackenzie Nthenge, the founder of the Good News International Church.
Allegedly, the pastor enticed his followers into starving themselves to death as a means to “find God.”
Apart from overseeing the postmortem process, Cabinet Secretary Kindiki’s schedule includes visits to two key locations.
The first is the Public Information, Tracing, and Social Support Centre situated at the edge of Shakahola forest.
This center serves as a hub for disseminating information, tracing missing persons, and providing social support services related to the tragic events surrounding the cult.
