Retired Archdeacon Paul Okinyo (centre) and other faithful who are calling for the split of the Maseno West Diocese, at the Odera Akango College Campus in Yala on Thursday. Church leaders have been embroiled in a protracted leadership tussle that now threatens to bring the church to its knees as a push to split the diocese into two continues to gather momentum. Yesterday, a number of church members who sought anonymity for fear of being discriminated against, told the Sunday Standard that the church resources have been the bone of contention.
