On January 5, 2020, a church service was disrupted at PCEA Rugongo Academy in Mau Narok, Nakuru County, after a row broke out between church members and their leaders over the management of the school.
The school, which has 300 pupils, has been performing well, topping last year's Kenya Certificate of Primary Education examination in Mau Narok with a mean score of 306.
Church members accused Reverend Julius Mbugua and church chairman James Hiyohu of replacing a board they appointed with another that allegedly comprises members who are close to the two officials.
Reverend Mbugua downplayed the matter, saying the changes were normal because the committee had overstayed in office.
However, church members and elders opposed to the changes claimed that the pastor and the chairman were using illegal means to throw out the board members.
They want Hiyohu to resign from his post and leave the church for allegedly failing to unite members.
Church members also accused Mbugua of changing the school board without consulting the directors and members.
