"content": "The biggest commandment is clear. ‘Love God and others as you love yourself.’ Again, in the last days, there will be many false prophets and they shall be known by their product. The product of pastor Mackenzie is now known to be death. A lot of activities that have taken place in Kilifi are of criminal nature and have to be investigated thoroughly. In fact, I agree with Sen. Mandago that the NIS should have picked this up many years ago, relayed that information to the security agencies and the activities whereby many people have been found dead would have been stopped a long time ago. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, these activities can affect anyone of us here; our relatives and our children. They should not be allowed to go on, either in this church or in any other church, in any part of the country or world. I am sure that it even offends International Law. For that matter, this particular incident must be investigated very closely. It is not the only church that has such activities. In fact, we have to go back to the old debate. Using that measure that was given by Jesus Christ himself, then, it shall be determined by the products or outcome of the activities of such preachers. The biggest commandment is that of love. The moment one does not measure to that, then, obviously, the agencies in this country must act. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, by what has happened, we demand information as to the outcome of post-mortems, which will be conducted on these bodies. Has some scalp been crushed, starved to death or has any other method been used to kill or commit atrocity against these particular people? There is a lot of information that has come out from the people who know this pastor and those who live in Kilifi. In fact, there was a lot of cash movement. The people would sell whatever they have so that they could follow this movement and reach everlasting life which everybody aspires to. Nevertheless, in the process, some of them would starve themselves to death. When some of them attempted to escape, from the information I have, they were revisited. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the person who released this information went through this massive land of forest, to another corner and found themselves in a place they could give information and investigations could begin. I also inform the House the information I have is that, Pastor Mackenzie surrendered himself to police when he heard there were issues. That is why, Sen. Kibwana, as a lawyer, will tell you that, the police are allowed by the law to release anybody on bond as long as they can be traced. This pastor was released on bond. I am told during the investigations, he has been making demands to the police. He claims that he must be left alone at the back of the police car, the Land Cruiser, and sure enough, he has been complying and allowing the investigations to take place. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we have a lesson to learn here even as politicians. We should not trust everybody who even invites us to Harambees or for prayers. Unfortunately, this pastor with other pastors, have been visiting the Head of State during the campaign and even purporting to pray for him yet, behind the scenes, he is committing atrocities and misleading Kenyans. Therefore, anybody is gullible to such people."
