Kiambu Governor William Kabogo in a speech presented by his Chief of Staff Sammy Otieno said police should expedite their investigations in a bid to unravel the mystery behind the killings.
“We are constantly misunderstanding the nature of family violence…we do this because we want to feel safe, so we apportion blame to those who die but we are somehow responsible for the wickedness that befell them,” he stated.
“When we essentially blame them, we are congratulating ourselves for a superior judgment that has not been accorded to us by God.”
Otieno urged parents to take charge of their families while warning them against joining religions which they are not aware of their spiritual works.
“Parents should take charge of their kids… let’s not leave our houses in control of our house helps…lets know where our kids go to worship,” he stated.
Ann Wambui Wanyoro, a pastor of the church Magu used to attend is reported to have been with the family four days prior to the killings. Detectives have since launched a search for a lawyer who was to facilitate the transfers while they continue to hold the pastor in custody.
Police have been investigating if the deaths have anything to do with suicide, murder or ritual sacrifice following reports that Magu was a successful lawyer four years ago, but quit when he became too religious and changed churches before he started avoiding some of his family members.
Religious leaders addressing the function said, “All those who were involved in the killings should be arrested.”
On December 4, Evangelical church leaders cautioned Kenyans to be wary of fake preachers who play on their faith for unscrupulous reasons.
The Kenya Evangelical Alliance Chairman Bishop Mark Kariuki said some people were recruiting people to cults, even through the media.
“Before you make any decision you have got to find out, who am I listening to? Refrain from participating in cultist worship and from being radicalised, it is not every person who calls Jesus Lord who is a servant of Jesus,” he said.
“One of the ways of identifying a cult is manipulation, where you find there is manipulation, then this is a cult and this is what is happening.”
