Lawsuits over Donation Money Turns into Counter Lawsuits

As the new saga of the donation money take twists and turns, the initial lawsuits has turned into counter lawsuits over the donation money.

Two former officials have secured attorneys in a bid to sue the Anglican church organization for damages arising from defamation and what one of the lawyers believes that the Anglican church can be held liable through what he called vicarious responsibility.

As the legal mind explained, Vicarious liability is a form liability that arises under the common law where the superior is held liable  for the acts of their subordinate, or, in a broader sense, the responsibility of any third party that had the "right, ability or duty to control" the activities of a violator. In broader sense, the Anglican Church can be held liable by what they know or should have known about the acts of their pastor. Below is the filing by Mr. Mugo demanding the 10,000 dollars, even though he already received a total of 6,400 from three of the churches that had received part of the 1700.00 shared between the five churches.
