Kenyan atheists have launched a fresh bid to have February 17th declared a holiday for nonbelievers. In a letter to the State, the president of Atheists in Kenya (AIK) Harrison Mumia accused the government of giving special treatment to Christians and Muslims while ignoring minority groups such as atheists.

Mumia cited the decision by Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i to gazette Monday, August 12th, as a public holiday to mark the Islamic Festival of Eid ul Adha.

SDA church readies for court battle with State

Controversy-ridden Nairobi Central Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) church now plans to move to court to seek orders to open one of its branches that was closed indefinitely by the State.

Through the Central Kenya Conference (CKC) of the SDA, the church has accused the Government of illegally locking out its worshipers from its premises. Officials of CKC yesterday claimed that a rival faction of former elders were pulling strings within State security to enforce the closure.
