7 Maralal catholic priests suspended as bishop cracks down on misconduct
The Catholic Diocese of Maralal has introduced strict new rules for its clergy after suspending seven priests over alleged breaches of Church law.
In what Bishop Hieronymus Joya described as the first disciplinary action of its kind in the diocese, the priests have been relieved of their priestly and pastoral duties as investigations continue.
They are facing allegations of abuse of ecclesiastical authority, administrative negligence, and financial mismanagement.
The suspensions were announced alongside a series of reforms aimed at strengthening accountability, discipline, and governance within the diocese.
