The Senate ad hoc committee, tasked with investigating the tragic loss of over 300 lives in the Shakahola religious cult, conducted a fact-finding mission in Western Kenya yesterday.

The committee's visit focused on Vihiga County, where they met with affected families, local leaders, and the county security team.
