From All Africa-
Bishop Joseph
Kagunda of the Anglican Church, Mt Kenya West Diocese, has opposed the
hearing of a defamation case filed against him by three priests he
attempted to suspend over allegations of engaging in sexual immorality.
Bishop Kagunda argues that the suit is an attempt by the priests to gag him from discharging his canonical duties.
He says the issues
in the suit are similar to those in another case heard and determined by
the Employment and Labour Relations Court, where the priests were
reinstated and awarded Sh6.8 million in compensation.
Bishop Kagunda, who
was recently committed to a civil jail for failing to reinstate the
priests, filed the preliminary objection through the Church Chancellor
Wachira Nderitu, following permission granted by Justice Abigail Mshila
on June 16, 2018.
