The government on Monday announced exhuming forty more mass graves as phase four of the exhumations exercise resumes in Shakahola.

Interior Cabinet Secretary(CS) Kithure Kindiki has confirmed that 339 lives have been lost in the Shakahola cult.

“ To the religious leaders opposing Government effort to crackdown on rogue preachers, we will not relent,” he said.

Further, he stated that every religious leader must do their work by the Constitution and the laws of our land.

“There is no difference between rogue preachers misleading their congregation and terrorists.

He also warned that anyone breaking the law during Wednesday’s protests will be dealt with firmly.

On Friday during the mass protests, six people were killed and others injured, including security officers. Freedom of association and the right to demonstrate does not include the right to cause mayhem and loot property,” he stated.

He pointed out that security officers are instructed to “deal with those disrupting peace, destroying property, and injuring people.”
