Kenya’s church leaders in January protested against strict new regulations for religious societies announced by the Attorney General’s Office, the Registrar of Societies and the Communications Authority of Kenya.
The rules ‘are aimed at gagging and muzzling the church in Kenya’, wrote church leaders in Nairobi in ‘A Message to Christians in Kenya’ on 11 January.
The new regulations dictate that pastors must submit a certificate of good conduct and must have a theological degree in order to preach.
