In the 1960s, the family of preacher Paul Makenzi migrated from Ikalaasa in Kibauni constituency, Machakos County.

Inquiries about Makenzi's family background and history from multiple sources, including close relatives and public officers in the provincial administration, remained scarce, even as the country grappled with the shocking revelation of mass deaths resulting from his church in Shakahola, Kilifi County.
