Kenyan Church to reject draft constitution

Nairobi (Alshahid) – The Church in Kenya will hold a meeting next Wednesday to chart a way forward following the passage of the draft constitution in its current form by parliament.

On Thursday parliament voted to adopt the draft constitution after failing to approve any amendment to the draft.

Speaking to the press in Thika, Karanja said the Church has already rejected the draft constitution since the parliament failed to address the contentious issues including abortion and Kadhi’s court.

The clause on Kadhi’s only deals with matters pertaining divorce, inheritance amongst Muslims.

NCCK General Secretary Cannon Peter Karanja said the Church will come up with ways of mobilizing its followers to reject the draft constitution.
