Pastor Ezekiel Odero has refused to shut his church down despite the state registering it on Friday.
The pastor has said that he is yet to receive communication from the Attorney General. He has also appealed the closure.
Through his lawyers, Ezekiel wants the Attorney General to address the matter within 90 days from today.
“This is a bid to frustrate his ministry. We are acting in speed seeking that the AG considers us,” said lawyer Martina Swiga.
Citizen Digital reported that the lawyers wondered why the Gazette Notice was issued today and yet the cancellation was done in May.
“It’s suspicious. It’s a clear manifestation against Pastor Ezekiel,” they said.
“Notices to close have never been served. No notice to show cause has been issued as provided by the rules as required by the constitution,” said lawyer Danstan Omari.
Through a gazette notice dated August 3, 2023, four other churches have been deregistered.
Other churches are Goodnews International Ministries which was cancelled on May 19, and Helicopter of Christ Church which was deregistered on May 19, 2023.
