Pastor Ezekiel Odero has been summoned by the Senate Ad Hoc committee investigating religious organizations to shed more light on the Shakahola deaths.
The Friday summon will see the Senate understand how members of the Good News International Church led by controversial preacher Paul Mackezie die in large numbers in Shakahola.
During the summon, the Senate will also get to understand if the church has met all legal requirements and the teachings of the church.

At the same time, the New Life Prayer Centre and Church pastor will explain his relationship with Paul Mackenzie who is in custody over the deaths.
