PCEA officials to defend themselves in court for ignoring court order

Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA) officials are set to defend themselves in court starting 26 November 2024, for alleged contempt of court.

 This follows a lawsuit against the officials for defying a court order that barred them from installing David Nderitu Ndumo as the Church’s Honorary Treasurer.

 The duo, General Assembly Secretary General Rev. Robert Waihenya and Moderator Rev. Thegu Mutahi, are to appear before Lady Justice Tabitha Wamalwa for their hearing.

 The order was issued in April this year by Lady Justice Asenath Odaga, before she was transferred to Voi, Taita Taveta County.

 The High Court order was to bar the church officials from installing Ndumo pending the hearing of a case involving loans he took from Sheria SACCO.

 Ndumo has failed to repay Sh5.8 million, subjecting 15 guarantors to deductions from their salaries.

 “Pending the hearing of this application by the parties, this honourable court is pleased to make an order restraining the first and second respondents from implementing the recommendations to appoint, elect or install David Nderitu Ndumo as Honorary Treasurer of the PCEA during the 24th General Assembly to be held at St. Andrew’s PCEA Church, Nairobi, on 9 April 2024,” the order reads in part.

 The loan has since accrued interest, and is now amounting to Sh7.6 million.
