South Nyanza Churches Prepare to Consecrate New Regional Bishop


A minimum of 70 Redeemed Gospel Churches located in the South Nyanza Region are organizing the consecration of their new regional Bishop, Vitalis Odour. This significant event will be overseen by the founder of the denomination, Archbishop Arthur Kitonga.

  Rev. Oduor, who serves as the senior Pastor of the Redeemed Gospel Church in Oyugis and also holds the position of sub-regional overseer, is set to be consecrated on the 29th of November this year. He will succeed Bishop Moses Chengo, who is reportedly stepping down from his role. In a press conference held in Oyugis town, Rev. Oduor stated that his new responsibilities will encompass overseeing Migori, Homa Bay, Kisii, and Nyamira Counties, as well as certain areas of Kisumu, extending to Ahero Junction. The cleric mentioned that the church is actively mobilizing resources to host the event at Agoro Sare High School in Oyugis town, as the church facilities are insufficient to accommodate the anticipated large number of attendees. He emphasized that all 16 regions of the Redeemed Gospel Churches, each led by a bishop, will be present at the event and extended an invitation to everyone to come and hear the word of God, in alignment with the church's vision. "The vision of the church is to preach the word of God and reach the unreached with the Good News," he remarked. The Reverend’s wife, Emily Oduor, invited all denominations in the region, including those not affiliated with the Redeemed Gospel Church. Caroline Oundo, the Church Treasurer, expressed her hope that the event would attract a large turnout, necessitating significant financial resources, and thus urged friends and well-wishers to assist the church either financially or through other tangible contributions. Additionally, Assistant Pastor Mary Othiambo praised God for what she described as a blessing for the Oyugis church in receiving a Bishop. She elaborated that this position entails greater responsibility for every church member, who must now support the incoming Bishop in fulfilling his mandate.

Pressure is increasing on the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to relocate Principal Hellen Mabese Luhangala of Tengecha Girls High School

Image
As the third term approaches its conclusion, stakeholders at Tengecha Girls High School in Kericho County are fervently urging the TSC to facilitate the transfer of Principal Hellen Mabese Luhangala.   In a conversation with Citizen Daily News, conducted under strict anonymity due to concerns of retaliation, parents and certain members of the local community assert that Hellen has remained in her position for an extended period without any visible development projects to demonstrate her leadership. The local community is now requesting that the TSC appoint a new principal in January, ideally someone who is a “daughter of the soil.” They allege that she has become adept at leading through authoritarian methods, coercion, intimidation, and threats against those who oppose her alleged involvement in corrupt practices, which have resulted in the misappropriation of public funds during her tenure. Furthermore, it is reported that she employs intimidation tactics against members of th...

The financial mismanagement at ENOOMATASIANI GIRLS SECONDARY SCHOOL has been brought to light.

Image
  The most recent report from the Auditor General for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, has uncovered mismanagement at Enoomatasiani High School under the administration of Principal Tabitha Mbabu (TSC No. 224359). There are calls for her transfer over mismanagement and not very impressive academic excellence under her leadership. As per the report, the statement of receipts and payments indicates that the school's fund income from parents' contributions amounts to Kshs. 89,627,445, as detailed in Note 4 of the financial statements. An examination of the school's fee structure during the review period revealed that the school fees were raised beyond the limits set by the Ministry of Education (MOE), resulting in an unauthorized increase in annual fees of Kshs. 15,000 for form one students and Kshs. 18,000 for students in other classes. This action contravenes Regulation 44 of the Basic Education Regulations, 2015, which stipulates that no public school or instit...
