Pastor Mugo Donation Money Row Takes another Turn, Lawyers will have Final Say.

As the situation of 10,000 dollars donation money that Pastor John Mugo Mwangi is suing to get back took another turn when the defendant enlisted the services of a local lawyer on his defense.

The trial date which was scheduled for March 23 has been postponed to enable the Attorney to prepare a good defense for his client. At stake is 10,000 dollars that was raised to bond out Mr. Mugo from jail. Mr. Mugo in his brief claims that the money that was contributed when he was in jail to bond him out but later divided among the major churches that contributed the money technically belongs to him, and he is suing to get it back, forget the point that the money was contributed by people he does not know when he was in jail!

But the fight for 10,000 is peanuts compared to what is going on in a small town called Lowell, Massachusetts. The fight is for who was the claim of the churches kitty for 200,000. Mr. Karimi, the former Pastor, was convicted for sexual misconduct, and several women have come forward claiming that the the man of the cloth is actually, a sexual predator.

According to the website Ajabu Africa he Kenyan Community Presbyterian church (Ushindi) enters a new phase tomorrow after Dr. Mumbui Karimi and some of the newly elected directors filed a motion for a temporary order restraining Wilson Wachira (former chairman of finance), Joyce Gathoni (former secretary) and Bank of America as the trustee of church funds from making any transactions using the church funds. The order was filed on Thursday last week (March 3), at the Superior court in Woburn, Massachusetts.

I know many people are asking the same question; what has happened to our church leaders today. Are the courts the best venue to resolve our disputes, when the lawyers have no intention of settling the disputes in the first place when they are being paid on contingency bases? When all the motions and discoveries are requested on both sides, and records and financial statements are subpoenaed and witness depositions taken, the truth of the matter will finally come out. There is also another possibility that the public will end up knowing the naked truth that we wished we never knew about people of the cloth and money.
