This is just one of those you have had , but have you ever had the PCEA scandal which is currently in court?
Four former church employees have been charged with stealing close to Sh40 million by a servant in a case that threatens to split the church.
In the first count,David Gathanju, who served as the moderator of Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA) General Assembly between 2009 and 2015, was charged alongside Esther Wanjiru, Peter Mwangi, Stephen Muhoro and James Muiruri for conspiring to steal from the church.
In the second count, they were accused of stealing Sh39.9 million, which came into their possession by virtue of their employment.
The case failed to start on Tuesday when prosecutors applied to amend the charges to increase the stolen amount to sh50.9 million.
State counsels have Christine Mbevi and Thomas Matwa told the court that they had instructions to amend the charges to increase the stolen amount to sh50.9 million.
Prosecutors said they would also add seven counts to charges against Mr Kamuthu.
He is to be charged with forging the signatures of PCEA Secretary-General Peter Kania and Treasurer Amon Nderi at Equity Bank on January 20, December 5 and December 16, 2016, and on January 17, 2017 with the intention of defrauding the church.
