A pastor with the Full
Gospel Churches of Kenya has been charged in a Kitui court with two counts of
defilement. Ezekiel Muendo Kiilu appeared before Principal Magistrate Johnston
Munguti on Tuesday and denied the charges. The court heard that the man of the
cloth allegedly committed the offences in Wikililye Location, Kitui County, on
February 7.
Mr Kiilu also pleaded
not guilty to two alternative charges of committing indecent acts with the
minors, aged 13 and 17 years, by touching their private parts.
He was released on a
Sh300,000 bond with a surety of the same without the option of cash bail.
Members of his church jammed the courtroom to show solidarity with their
spiritual leader.
The court also directed
prosecutors to supply the defence lawyers, led by Francis Kalili, with the
complainants’ medical documents, age assessment reports and any other exhibits
to be relied on during trial.
The case will be heard
on April 21.
