CWN Editor's Note: “It is very unfortunate that we are witnessing a worrying reality in the country where so-called prophets and cultic leaders have mastered the art of exploiting gullible Kenyans in the name of religion,” Kenya’s bishops after 72 members of a new cult starved themselves to death.

The prelates wondered how the group’s founder could have been “allowed to perpetuate its dangerous doctrine for such a long time, leading to the loss of so many lives with the state security machinery completely unaware.”
