Clerics in Kenya will be required to have either a diploma or degree in Theology from a recognized theological institution among other new requirements before opening a Church in Kenya.
The directives released on July 13 by the Registrar of Societies came to effect after the government lifted the moratorium that halted the registration of new Churches in the country.
Alongside meeting the academic requirements, the individual will also be required to present"a sworn affidavit by each officer indicating whether they are registered members or officers of other religious societies and the names of such societies." The registrar has also listed several mandatory documents among them; a national identification card, Kenya Revenue Authority certificate, and a tax compliance or exemption certificate from each officer of the society as guided in section 23 of the Societies Act.
