-The SDA church has lifted the suspension of popular pastor Elizabeth Mokoro.
-Others suspended together with Mokoro include Kenneth Maina, Evangelist Shaban Ndege, Evangelist Millicent Odhiambo, and Evangelist Lantena.
-The July 4 notice on the ban asked members of the church not to grant Mokoro a chance to minister in their branches.
The SDA church has dropped its decision to suspend Pastor Elizabeth Mokoro and four other members, including three evangelists.
In a letter seen by Gotta News and dated July 10, 2024, signed by Eliab Ombuoro, the church lifted an earlier suspension.
The letter retracted an earlier directive asking church members not to give the five a platform to preach to SDA congregations.
The withdrawal of the ban comes after acrimony online, with many questioning the suspensions.
“In reference to our letter dated July 4, 2024, on the above subject matter quoted (ACTION 24EXCOM-055), we wish to state that the letter is hereby withdrawn until advised otherwise. For those who might have read the letter, we request that you disregard it.” reads the letter.
The withdrawal followed a massive uproar online over the suspensions.
The earlier notice of ban issued on July 4 by SDA Kenya Coast Field called on members of the church not to grant the five a chance to minister in their branches.
“Kindly note this is an adoption of the East Kenya Union Conference action for the above-mentioned not to serve as stated,” a notice signed by Pastor Eliab Ombuoro stated.
“It is our hope that the above communication will be adhered to.”
Ombuoro said the five were banned from conducting any kind of church service within or outside KCE territory.
The notice did not cite reasons for the suspension of the five.
