The four-year dispute in the
leadership of Africa Independent Pentecostal Church (AIPCA) has come to an end.
The end of the leadership
wrangle was marked after three faction leaders Archbishops Julius Njoroge,
Fredrick Wang’ombe and Samson Muthuri held a meeting at the Bahati headquarters
in Nairobi.
The three were accompanied
by their executive committee of each seven members.
After deliberations in a
closed-door meeting, the three agreed that there will be an announcement on the
church leadership including the holder of the position of the archbishop.

In the major announcement
will also include the positions that the three will hold.
In the past years, efforts
to reunite the church leadership scuttled despite an reconciliation committee
formed after President Uhuru Kenyatt,a made a call.
The call followed a major split between
Njoroge and Wang’ombe that left the members in confusion and physical fight.
Trouble started after the
retired Arch Bishop Kabuthu anointed Wang’ombe as his successors, as the rival
indicated that Njoroge was the bone fide holder of the position through
election.
At the height of the
wrangles, Wang’ombe and Njoroge were last year forced to hold parallels youth
and women conferences in Murang’a county.
Muthuri from the Eastern
region walked out of the church with his followers in 2005.
