He was also charged with failing to take his children through compulsory primary and secondary education.
On October 19, 2017, he was granted a conditional cash bail of Sh100,000 or an alternative Sh500,000 bond with one surety.
The court also ordered that upon release, Mackenzie should be reporting to the OCS Malindi each week and that the matter be heard on a priority basis as it was a public interest matter.
