From Kenya-
Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) is embroiled a land dispute threatening
to tear apart the Nairobi diocese headed by Bishop Joel Waweru.
Some members of ACK St Mark Church in Westlands are accusing the diocese
of scheming to grab land belonging to the parish. The faithful say the
church bought the land, registration number 1870/111/159, way back in
1964.
According to members, the diocese is in the process of developing the
plot having encroached on the same without the consent of faithfuls of
St Marks church. The land in dispute is located along School Lane.
The church puts the value of the plot at Sh500 million, having bought it
for Sh100,000. Until 2012, the church generated income from the land
through rental lease before the diocese requested to be allowed to carry
out its activities on the understanding that the diocese would pay
rent.
