SH7M The amount to be spent by Kilifi county for witchcraft rescue centre

The Kilifi government is set to build a modern rescue centre at the Kaya Godoma for Sh7 million.

Culture director Ishmael Kalume said the funds are meant to give the centre a facelift.

Speaking at the centre on Friday, Kalume said they are determined to give elders a decent life before integrating them back to their communities.

The centre was started in 2008 by Mangi Mitsanze as a rescue centre for elders who fled their homes to escape lynching after being accused of witchcraft.
