Interior CS Kindiki Vows To Bring Mackenzie To Justice

Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has vowed to bring to justice the perpetrators of the Shakahola massacre, in which at least 252 people have been killed.

Speaking at the forest on Tuesday, Kindiki said that the government had a “watertight case” against Mackenzie and his collaborators, who are in custody. He said that the government had evidence that was sufficient to prove charges of genocide and crimes against humanity.

“This is a case like no other, and we can not afford to lose it,” Kindiki said. “This case against Mackenzie must be won, the perpetrators must be convicted.”

Kindiki also said that the government would not leave any citizens in the forest, dead or alive. He said that security roads would be opened in every 100 acres of the Chakama Ranch to aid in methodical and scientific search and rescue efforts as well as identification of graves.

So far, the teams have managed to save 95 people who could have died in the forest. Some are still recuperating in hospitals, and some have been reunited with their families.

Kindiki thanked the multi-agency team for conducting themselves with utmost professionalism. He said that the government had nothing to hide and would tell the world exactly what was happening at Shakahola Forest. He also said that the government would ensure that such a tragedy does not occur again in the country.

The Shakahola massacre is one of the worst atrocities to have occurred in Kenya in recent years. The government has vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice and to ensure that such a tragedy does not happen again.
