Blow To Pastor Ezekiel As Court Issues Verdict on His Church

Blow To Pastor Ezekiel As Court of Appeal declined to reinstate the license of his Kilifi-based New Life Prayer Centre and Church.

Last year, Odero’s church was among several closed after their licenses were cancelled for not being properly registered.

They however got orders stopping the closure temporarily pending a hearing of the case.

However on Tuesday, The three judges; Justices Daniel Musinga, Kathurima Minoti, and M. Gachoka, agreed with Justice Jairus Ngaah that pastor Ezekiel Odero should have approached the CS first before going to court.

“In light of the consistent decisions of this Court and the Supreme Court that a party must first invoke the dispute resolution mechanisms provided by the law before resorting to the High Court or courts or equal status, we are satisfied that the intended appeal is not arguable,” the court ruled.

Pastor Ezekiel moved to the Court of Appeal cited  that he was not satisfied by the High Court’s decision to suspend his church licence, adding that the court erred in law.
