Published on August 10, 2019, a letter from Central Kenya Conference president Pr John Kiragu Ngunyi expelled 15 members of Nairobi SDA Church, citing their alleged disloyalty to the faith.
The expulsion, which occurred on Wednesday, has added fuel to the ongoing fire within the church. The church claims the 15 individuals are the main trouble-makers, but they deny the allegations and assert their innocence.
Among the expelled members are Senator Sam Ongeri, Justice Azenath Ongeri, Senator Chris Obure, MPs TJ Kajwang, Simba Arati, and Millie Odhiambo, lawyer George Kegoro, Justice (rtd) Samuel Bosire, former PS Bitange Ndemo, and Cabinet Secretary Charles Keter's wife Priscilla Keter.
Chief Justice David Maraga, Interior CS Fred Matiang'i, and Justice Patrick Kiage are among prominent worshipers who have found refuge in SDA Karengata Church in Karen due to the ongoing chaos.
Yesterday, a high-level meeting between the two warring groups was held in Nairobi in an effort to reconcile the parties. Nairobi police chief Philip Ndolo warned that police would arrest and lock up trouble makers during today's church ceremony.
