The draft bill proposes establishing a Religious Affairs Commission to oversee religious activities, including tracking the number of congregants, financial reports, accounts, and funds received by the ministry.

The bill states, “Any religious institution that files its returns late shall incur a penalty for late filing as prescribed.”

Pastor Ng’ang’a, a prominent religious leader, expressed his discontent with the bill. In a viral video circulating online, Ng’ang’a addressed his congregation, criticizing the government’s intention to tax churches. He argued that it is unjust to tax religious institutions that rely primarily on offerings and donations from well-wishers.
