How Mackenzie feasted like a king as his Shakahola followers starved to death to meet 'Jesus'
How Mackenzie feasted like a king as his Shakahola followers starved to death to meet ‘Jesus’.
Shocking details about Shakaola cult leader Paul Mackenzie’s extravagant feasts while his members starved to death has come to light.
There are fears that the death toll in an investigation connected to a cult that practiced hunger would approach 500 after crossing the 200 mark.
The release of Mackenzie’s diet on Thursday revealed how the man gorged himself at breakfast, lunch, and dinner while persuading his followers to starve to death in order to see Jesus.
The infamous leader of the Good News International Church even had a menu listing his daily food that he had obtained from upscale hotels.
A detailed menu found pinned at the door of Mackenzie’s homestead sheds light on his eating routine, which starkly contrasts the deprivation he advocated for his followers.
According to the menu, Mackenzie would have a hearty breakfast and skip supper only twice a week.
On Mondays, he would consume bread and vegetables for breakfast and forgo supper altogether.
Tuesdays saw him having ugali (a cornmeal dish) and vegetables for breakfast, followed by porridge for supper.
Wednesdays consisted of breakfast with spaghetti and supper with porridge.
Mackenzie would have muthokoi (maize meal) for breakfast on Thursdays, again followed by porridge for supper.
Fridays involved having ugali and vegetables for breakfast, with supper omitted.
Saturdays brought tea and chapati for breakfast, and once again, porridge for supper.
Sundays included breakfast with rice and vegetables, and he would conclude his day with porridge for supper.
Evidence outside Mackenzie’s house revealed remnants of chicken feathers, indicating that he occasionally consumed chicken, while goat bones were also visible on the premises.

While starvation appears to be the main cause of death, some of the victims — including children — were strangled, beaten or suffocated, according to chief government pathologist Johansen Oduor.
These findings raise further questions about the preacher’s contradictory teachings concerning food deprivation, given his engagement in beekeeping, food crop production, and construction of dams for irrigation on his expansive 800-acre estate.
These revelations surfaced on Thursday during a visit to Mackenzie’s homestead in the Shakahola forest by Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki, accompanied by senior security officers.
The visit coincided with the ongoing search, rescue, and exhumation operations related to the victims of the tragic events that unfolded in the area.
Questions have been raised about how Mackenzie, a father of seven, managed to evade law enforcement despite a history of extremism and previous legal cases.
