The Kenya Revenue Authority also requires churches to remit taxes except in areas where the tax exemption law applies. The proposal that the church’s leadership should not consist of family members is a tricky one. It was the immediate family members of the pioneering pastors who initially invested huge sums of money and resources for the churches to pick up. Therefore, to insist that church leaderships exclude family members is to kill the very essence of the church. As such, attempts to ensure the well-functioning of religious bodies through the law should be encouraged.
