President William Ruto has formed a Judicial commission whose mandate will be to inquire about and probe deaths that were a result of the Shakahola cult.
The commission will be tasked with establishing what led to the killing of the now over 100 people in the church owned by pastor Paul Mackenzie.
"This week I will be appointing a judicial commission of inquiry so that what happened there does not happen again," Ruto said.
The President stated that all the commissioners, security heads, investigation, and intelligence officers in the area have since been transferred to pave the way for the probe.
The head of state further stated he will be meeting church leaders for a consultation with a view to forming a Taskforce that will see mechanisms to detect individuals misusing religion developed.
"We want to weed out the characters who want to abuse religion to run businesses and things that are anti-religion in the republic," he remarked.
