What you need to know:

  • Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei demanded that the committee compels the preacher to withdraw the names from his presentations.
  • Kisii Senator Richard Onyonka said Pastor Odero should be allowed to state all that he knows to enable the committee do a good job.

Pastor Ezekiel Odero of New Life Prayer Centre and Church has blamed his woes on President William Ruto and Internal Security Cabinet Secretary Prof Kithure Kindiki, as he distanced himself from Pastor Paul Mackenzie-associated with the Shakahola mass deaths.

Testifying before the Senate Ad hoc Senate Committee on Proliferation of Religious Organisations and the circumstances which led to the deaths of more than 400 followers of Mackenzie, Pr Odero said police cancelled his recent crusade, allegedly on instructions of the President and Prof Kindiki.
