#KENYA: Legislation Would Force Pastors To Register, Impose Standards

[world politics news]


Stung by the rise of the "prosperity Gospel" in Kenya, the attorney general has proposed legislation to impose standards on clergy. The move is opposed by the nation's leading evangelical and Muslim organizations. All preachers have to undergo theological training at a reputable seminary, the Ethics and Anti-Corruption commission will have to certify that clergy are not corrupt and foreign pastors will need a work permit, and a recommendation from their government if the law passes.
