This is beyond my little psychology.

Apparently seems it was an evil land scam. Was selling the idiots land, then telling them to burn all documents, encouraging them to fast to death and then the land would return to him.
Crazy sicko!

Eventually goes to government failure to issue title deeds.
According to some followers of the church who did not want to be named, once one arrived in Shakahola village, a piece of land was sold to them at Sh25,000 per acre.
There are suspicions that once the owner died, the land and the already-built mud house would be sold to another person.
Mr Gerald Thoya, who was born and raised in Langoboya location, says it is hard to tell who owns the 800-acre Chakama ranch, on which Shakahola village stands.
"Leaders of Chakama Ranch took a loan to acquire the land, but were unable to pay for it. Then Former President Mwai Kibaki and former area MP Lucas Baya Maitha intervened and the government settled the loan. Then people divided the ranch and some parts were converted into a land-buying scheme. Owners sold the land at throwaway prices and many outsiders who are now followers of Mackenzie, including himself, bought it,” explains Mr Thoya.
