Pastor Mackenzie’s six demands to his followers

Circumstances under which Kenyan Pastor Paul Mackenzie lured his followers to death remains shrouded in mystery even as authorities continued to discover more bodies in his vast 800 acre land.

By Tuesday evening 90 bodies had been exhumed from the Shakahola forest including those who died after police raided the area.

The pastor is a man of interest to many who have been gripped in horror about the events that happened at the Good News International church under the stewardship of Paul Mackenzie.

It has emerged that the now trending pastor who was a taxi driver in Malindi before he received his calling had demands that his followers had to meet to be part of those who wanted to make the journey to meet their maker through fasting.

Many might wonder who Mackenzie is but what is more worrying is the things he allegedly asked his 'followers' to do.

1. Stop children from going to school.

2. Burn all school certificates.

3. Women were not to shave

4. Sick people were not to be taken to the hospital to seek treatment.

5. To live within his land, now famously known as Shakahola.

6. Fast to death, as it is one way to see God.

The discovery of mass graves in Shakahola Forest near the coastal town of Malindi has shocked Kenyans, and there are fears more corpses could be found as search teams unearthed 17 bodies on Tuesday, with investigators saying children made up the majority of victims of what has been dubbed the "Shakahola Forest Massacre".

Kenya's government has vowed to crack down on fringe religious outfits in the largely Christian country.
