MombasaPaul Mackenzie got 200 years for starving 190 children.
Police searched his premises in 2017 and had twice arrested, then freed, him.
Justice Diana Kavedza gave 100 years for murder by starvation and 100 for direct homicide, and 28 accomplices were also sentenced.
The trial covered 191 victims, yet the rights commission counted 448 bodies and a separate 52-death case is pending.
Kenya’s parliament still has not passed the 2024 church-regulation proposals that followed the killings.
