Kenya Puts Rules to Rein In Prosperity Preachers on Pause

One of Africa’s strongest attempts yet to prevent problematic behavior among its mushrooming churches has hit the brakes.
The proposed regulations were Kenya’s latest attempt to crack down on unruly religious organizations.

In December, the nation’s Communication Authority announced that preachers may no longer solicit donations on radio or television. The rule does not ban preaching itself, an official clarified, adding that the agency looked at similar standards in the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada when creating the policy.
