The court is also contemplating instituting contempt of court proceedings against Lihanda, his lawyer Aggrey Musiega and the Church Administrator Patrick Oyondi. Lihanda is said to have mobilised over 2,000 delegates at Nyango’ri PAG headquaters in Vihiga for elections at 3am on March 3. According to them, women and youths were segregated and cannot vie for the positions of General Superintendent, General Secretary and General Treasurer. “The defendants have usurped the powers of administration of the church and are making unilateral decisions on behalf of the church,” said the petitioners. Justice Njagi directed the petitioners to serve the respondents with the application and slated the hearing for April 4.
