Pastor Mackenzie sermons feature calls to sacrifice life and apocalyptic conspiracy theories.
By Peter Mwai, Deka Barrow and Rose NjorogeThe leader of a Christian cult in Kenya is due to appear in court next week, as the exhumation of bodies found in mass graves on his land continues. At least 90 have been discovered so far.
"We are about to win the battle… let no-one turn back… the journey is about to be accomplished," reads a banner across the screen. It's not clear when the sermons were filmed, but there is reference to an upcoming event in Nairobi in January 2020, which contradicts Pastor Mackenzie's claim to have ended his preaching activities the previous year.Former members of the church have claimed that they were forced to fast as part of their adherence to its teachings.
"Is there a house maybe or an enclosure or a fence somewhere that has been found [at the farm] where people might have been locked in?" he replied when the reporter asked him about this.Another theme of Pastor Mackenzie's sermons has been the idea that formal education is satanic and used to extort money.
"I told people education is evil…. Children are taught gayism and lesbianism,'' he told the Nation newspaper.He has also encouraged mothers to avoid seeking medical attention during childbirth and not to vaccinate their children.
