A section of the religious sector has raised concern over the Religious Organisations Bill, 2024[File, Standard]
Civil society organisations and religious stakeholders have called for the shelving of the proposed Religious Organisations Bill, 2024, arguing that it is unnecessary, exclusionary, and risks undermining constitutional freedoms.
The calls were made during a coalition dialogue convened by Search for Common Ground and its partners, including Muslims for Human Rights (MUHURI), the Kenya Community Support Centre, and the Kesho Alliance.
The forum brought together MPs and civil society actors to deliberate on the proposed law, which seeks to regulate religious organisations through mandatory registration, oversight, and compliance mechanisms.
