The embattled Ekeza Sacco will not be able to install a new management committee after the court has barred the commissioner of the co-operative development temporarily.
Senior Resident Magistrate M. Murage on Friday ordered that the current management should stay in office until the case is heard and determined.
The ruling comes after 11 Sacco members moved to court seeking to stop the Commissioner from interfering with the management of their Sacco.
The case will be heard on March 13.
The founder and chairman of the Ekeza Sacco Bishop David Kariuki Ngari ‘Gakuyo’ in January put some of the Sacco’s properties up for sale to raise money to refund members’ savings.
Renowned Citizen TV journalist, Linus Kaikai, on Thursday called for the regulation of preachers in Kenya, citing recent scandals as a key reason.
Kaikai mentioned the Ekeza Sacco scandal as a prime example of how fake pastors have used their self-title positions to steal from their loyal congregation.
