Kenya: Some church leaders have opposed plans by the Government to tighten regulations on registration of religious organisations.

Led by Evangelical Alliance of Kenya Chairman Bishop Mark Kariuki, they alleged that the move by the Attorney General Githu Muigai to stop registration of new churches and his proposal to introduce regulations amounted to persecuting the church.
