Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has declared a 30-day dusk-to-dawn curfew in the Chakama Ranch area.
The government has also deployed more security personnel to comb through the vast Shakahola forest to rescue any remaining followers of controversial televangelist Paul Mackenzie who could still be alive.
"Curfew orders have also been declared and Gazetted within the said area between 1800 hours in the evening up to and until 0600 hours in the morning for 30 days," Kindiki said on Wednesday.
This means that there shall be no public gatherings, processions or movement either alone or as a group during the period of curfew into and out of Chakama Ranch.
The only movement which will be allowed according to Kindiki will be permitted, in writing, by the Kilifi county police commander in consultation with the operation commander.
The area measuring 20,418 hectares and situated in Lango Baya division, Malindi subcounty, Kilifi was on Tuesday declared a disturbed area by the CS.
Kidiki also declared the area a scene of crime.
"The area is an active security operation zone and no access to it by the public shall be permitted effective today April 26, except as may be permitted by the operation commander and/or until these orders are vacated," he said
