A court in Nyeri has rejected a plea by Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) to set aside an order to pay Sh6.8 million to three priests it accused of engaging in homosexuality.

On Thursday, Employment and Labour Relations Court Judge Byram Ongaya further dismissed an application by ACK to have the judgement that was delivered on September 9, 2016, reviewed.
