The church leaders who filed the case said that they were against the dictatorial leadership showed by the Bishop Stephen Kewasis while flouting the church constitution and that they are praying hard for the matter to be resolved early. Bishop Stephen Kewasis has been accused of imposing.
Laban Korelach who is the Lay church leader West Pokot county said that they are ready to fight for the church against such improper leadership by the current Bishop Stephen Kewasis who is set to retire next year.
Rev Peter Nariu said the Bishop failed to give a 14 days notification and that it was rushed and ambushed on the senior church delegates without any vetting.
