The Free Pentecostal Fellowship in Kenya General Secretary Rev John Kitur said the decision was taken because the CoE has ignored the views of the church on the Proposed Constitution.
"The church has observed that the CoE has already taken a stand on the draft constitution, so we have no trust in them," said Kitur.
The cleric added that the Government should uphold democratic principles by allocating funds to both the ‘No’ and ‘Yes’ camps.

"That is a sign of empowerment of the church leaders who are here today, to go out and share the message of ‘No’ to our congregations countrywide," said Kitur.
The church demanded that the contentious issues must be addressed now and not in future.
