He has now ordered that the alleged fake men of the cloth and traditional medicine men be arrested and prosecuted for being behind the killing of the witches.
There has been an increased lynching of people suspected to be witchcraft in the Coastal county, with over 29 killed in just over two years in Rabai constituency alone.
Christianity does not condone witchcraft and condemns it as sin.
But Mutinda is saying the number is alarming, and that urgent action to stop it must be implemented.
He spoke during a sensitization workshop organized by Haki Yetu organization aimed at deliberating how to end the killing of elders in Rabai and other parts of the county.
The meeting was attended by seven chiefs, 16 assistant chiefs, Rabai OCPD David Maina and John Lelei, the area DCI.
“Most of the medicine men come from Tanzania to conduct the fake rituals, members of the public should be on high alert to avoid being victims of their propaganda that has led to hate and bloodshed,’’ he said.
Mutindika said medicine men demand money from families to conduct special prayers so as to drive away evil and reveal the identity of the suspected witch.
The County Commissioner said such backward ideologies should stop and warned the perpetrators their days were numbered.
The cases are also common in Ganze, Magarini and Malindi though the numbers have gone down lately.
