Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has said investigating bodies will look into allegations of organ harvesting on Shakahola victims. 

Kindiki, while addressing the media on Monday, said if any of the victims have any missing organs, they will surely let the world know of it. 

"If any of our people have their organs missing we will tell the world. There is nothing we are hiding. That is the truth," the CS said. 

Kindiki was responding to a query by journalists who wanted to know whether the investigation will touch on the possible theory of organ harvesting.

"We will have to find out why those organs are missing, who took them and where. And therefore this is a long process of accountability," Kindiki said. 

The CS was in Kilifi to oversee the postmortem examination of 110 bodies exhumed from the Shakahola mass grave site. 

The postmortem examination is set to begin today. 

A team of experts led by Government Chief Pathologist Johansen Oduor will carry out the postmortem examinations.

Pastor Paul Mackenzie Nthenge of the Good News International Church is facing allegations of misleading his congregants to starve themselves to "meet Jesus".

Homicide detectives have since last week been searching for graves on the 800-acre piece of land in Shakahola.
