[Kipsang Joseph, Standard]Several churches are on the verge of losing prime parcels of land and other property worth millions of shillings owing to court battles. In September last year, World House of Prayer Ministries Church attempted to solve a Sh217 million land dispute outside court. However, Justice John Mutungi of the Environment and Land Court (ELC) in Nakuru, dismissed the church’s application against brothers Ila Haria and Sushila Shah. Mwakio sued the church on July 30, 2020 and sought court orders to bar the church from interfering with his land. He states that when he moved to take possession of the property, the church trustees laid claim on it.
