The African Independent Pentecostal Church of Africa (AIPCA) has differed with the Catholic church on the government’s plan to roll out a mass vaccination of girls against cervical cancer next month.

Speaking at Jomo Kenyatta High School in Bahati during a women conference that brought together more than 3,000 members of the church’s Women Council, AIPCA deputy secretary general Bernard Maina said the church fully supports the programme.
