Two pastors take on SDA Church over preaching banThe Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) in Kisii has been drawn into a controversy after two pastors, whom the church leadership barred from preaching to faithful, engaged lawyers to challenge the decision. The two pastors, Martha Isaac and Nixon Matara, who have become a hit with faithful for their preachings, want justice and fair hearing from the church leadership. The suspensionThrough their advocate Wilkins Ochoki, the duo submit that the field leadership committed an administrative error by unilaterally suspending them against the guiding procedural and policy framework of the SDA Church. Martha and Matara submit that the field leadership has subjected them to untold mental suffering, emotional trauma and psychological anguish “due to the widespread defamatory statements”. As a remedy, the aggrieved pastors want the SEKF leadership to pull down the message and issue a public apology to them.
