    "content": "Any sector is supposed to regulate itself, but when it is unable to do so, then the Government has no option but to come in and regulate it. The church is now regulated by the Registrar of Societies. They do not have a group that is supposed to guide them. They also do not have measures to scold and reprimand those who go against the guidelines. This is a very sad state. We do not even know the end of it. We do not know how many more bodies are going to be retrieved. I want to urge this House to come up with proper legislation that is going to manage and regulate how churches and religious spaces operate. I know it will not be a very welcome move, but we must be bold enough to take that which is not popular. We have to come up with a regulation that is correct and good. This gentleman decided to go and hide in the sleepy areas of Kilifi County. This meant that it took time before the intelligence officers went there to find this problem. People should regulate themselves. As we talk about education, we must teach our people about the boundaries of the church and hypnosis. Our populations should protect themselves against those who prey on them under the guise of going to church, going to heaven and radicalisation. It is very unfortunate that they are radicalising our children. We need to put this in our education system. Socially, leaders should take the lead and ensure that they interact with their people and take care of them. They can then give them direction without leaving them to those who are evil."
