Farmers Party Chairman Irungu Nyakera has supported the proposal to regulate the religious space.
He however said the move to regulate them was timely and necessary after seeing doomsday cults taking over the religious space.
Nyakera, also the KEMSA Chairman said there have been various failed attempts to regulate the churches and mosques by the likes of former AG Githu Muigai and former Kangema MP Muturi Kigano.
“Basically, while it is an undeniable fact that all is not well in our religious space, it is also not true that all the apples have gone sour,” said Nyakera.
He calls on the involvement of all the stakeholders in proposing the changes to arrive at balanced proposals that will give Kenyans freedom of worship, while also protecting them from being exploited by some men of the cloth.A report handed over to President William Ruto on Tuesday, recommended a fresh registration of the religion designed to slam the doors on briefcase churches, doomsday cults and false prophets.
