<\/div>\n<\/strong> A dispute over property ownership has erupted between Bishop Jackson Mwangi of Victorious Community Church Kenya in Mbaruk Ward and the Nakuru East Ward Representative Humphrey Mwaniki.\n<\/p>\n The dispute arose after Mwaniki sent youths to demolish the church and its fence standing on a quarter acre land on Tuesday at around 5am. The youths managed to demolish the iron sheet fence but were stopped by police and some arrested. Mwangi told\u00a0The Standard<\/em>\u00a0that he called the police after a faithful informed him that the alleged goons were demolishing the fence and were attempting to remove the gate.\n<\/p>\n He said that the youths claimed that they had been sent by the civic leader in his attempt to reclaim his alleged property. <\/p>\n \u201cI went to the area chief and found the MCA there. He claimed that the property belonged to him and admitted sending the youths to demolish the fence,\u201d said Mwangi.\n<\/p>\n Mwangi said that the church is one of the branches he has in Kenya and he built it legally in 2015 and has stayed without interruptions until Tuesday morning.\n<\/p>\n \u201cI paid Sh500,000 in an agreement by the owner of the land and I took possession. I built the church here and I have been worshipping here since then,\u201d he said while pointing at the location.\n<\/p>\n He condemned Mwaniki\u2019s action and wondered why the MCA sent the youths at 5am in the morning when people are still asleep.\n<\/p>\n \u201cThe MCA admitted that he ordered the demolition. He should know better being a county lawmaker and follow the due processes of claiming ownership,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n Mwangi vowed not to leave the property or demolish the church without a court order or notice.\n<\/p>\n \u201cI do not care if he has the title deed as he claims. I am not moving here unless the court orders me to or I am issued with a notice from the owner,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n Mary Muhuru, the property owner said that she sold the property to the bishop. Ms Muhuru said the bishop paid over Sh500,000 for it.\u00a0\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Source: The Standard Media Kenya<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Victorius Community Church in Mbaruk Ward on February 1, 2022, whose fence was demolished under orders of Nakuru East Ward MCA Humphrey Mwaniki on Tuesday morning.
