A mass grave at Makaburini Cemetery in Kericho has exposed a horrifying reality — 33 bodies, including 25 children, buried under deeply suspicious circumstances. While the scale raises serious concerns, it is important not to draw premature conclusions. The DCI-led probe must move swiftly and transparently to deliver full forensic clarity and answers for the victims’ families.
Kenya has a documented history of cult-driven mass killings — over 400 bodies were pulled from Shakahola Forest in 2023 alone, with children making up the majority of victims. The Kericho grave fits a chilling pattern of extreme religious fanaticism leading to organized murder. Dismissing the cult angle means ignoring the most compelling and precedented explanation for what happened.
