A section of churches now wants the Religious Organisations Bill 2024, which is currently undergoing public participation be withdrawn in totality.

Led by the Pentecostal Voice of Kenya (PVK), the churches argue that some of the clauses in the Bill will bar them from criticising the government on issues affecting members of the public.
