Government has taken action to deregister the New Life Church of Pastor Ezekiel Odero and the Good News International Ministries of Paul Mackenzie. The move comes after the Churches and their leaders were implicated in the recent deaths of several members who engaged in cult-like practices.
Registrar of Societies, Jane Joram, confirmed that the government had sent 30-day cancellation notices to the two religious outfits. This follows investigations into their activities, which have revealed that they are operating outside the law.
The New Life Church and Good News International Ministries have been accused of promoting dangerous practices that have resulted in the loss of lives. The government is determined to stamp out these activities and ensure that all religious organizations in the country adhere to the law.
The deregistration process is expected to begin immediately, and the government has warned that it will take legal action against any individuals or groups that continue to operate these churches after the 30-day notice period expires.
The government’s action has been praised by many Kenyans who have expressed their concern about the rising number of cults and unregulated religious organizations in the country. The move is seen as a strong signal to other religious leaders and organizations that they must operate within the law or face the consequences.
As the investigation into the Shakahola deaths continues, the government has urged all Kenyans to be vigilant and report any suspicious activities or groups to the authorities. The safety and well-being of all citizens are of paramount importance, and the government will do everything in its power to ensure that they are protected.
