Officers who slept on the job as followers of Pastor Paul Mackenzie starved to death in Shakahola will face the law, Interior CS Kithure Kindiki has reiterated.
Appearing before the Senate Adhoc Committee investigating Shakahola deaths, Kindiki said he also believes some officials in the Judiciary will be held responsible.
"I believe some officers from the National Police Service and even the Judiciary have a case to answer," he said.
He said the officers failed to act on a report on the activities of Mackenzie.
"If these officers acted on the report, maybe, Shakahola deaths could have been prevented or mitigated," he added.
The CS vowed that no one will be "forgiven for trying to weaken the potential of the prosecution to win the case against Mackenzie."
He added: "I have told the DPP we must win this case. If we lose, then I do not know what we expect as a country."
Kindiki further told senators that the government has identified 40 new unopened graves in Shakahola.
The CS said security agencies suspect the graves could be holding multiple bodies.
He said a total of 350 bodies have been recovered as of Monday evening since the exercise began.
"We have not exhausted the search for more graves. We, therefore, do not know how long it will take," he told senators.
He said the slow pace is a result of security agencies adhering to Geneva Protocols on the processing of mass graves and scenes of crime where atrocities were committed.
