What you need to know:

  • As the committee is broke, questions have been raised regarding who sponsored the trip.
  • The fact-finding mission came about after Pastor Ezekiel offered to take the senators on a tour of his church.

Controversy has rocked a Monday visit by a Senate ad-hoc committee to controversial preacher Ezekiel Odera’s vast New Life Prayer Centre in Kilifi County with questions lingering on the financier of the trip.

Details have emerged of how the 11-member team investigating the Shakahola massacre visited Mavueni without a single technical staff as is required of a parliamentary committee for a fact-finding mission.
