Meru County, nestled on the eastern slopes of Mount Kenya, has long been a region of vibrant political activity. Known for its diverse culture, rich agricultural lands, and strategic importance, Meru is now becoming equally known for its political drama. The past months have seen Meru being a hotbed of political intrigue, power play, and even an attempted ouster of its governor. But what is really happening in Meru, and why is it so significant? The Political Landscape of Meru Meru's politics have always been colorful, characterized by a mix of traditional leadership structures and modern political dynamics. Historically, the region has been governed by a blend of community elders, known as the Njuri Ncheke, and elected officials. This unique interplay has often created a delicate balance between respecting traditional governance and embracing the democratic process. However, in the past few years, this balance has been disrupted. The county has experienced rising political tension

NEW DAWN IN THE METHODIST CHURCH IN KENYA

It is a new dawn to the Methodist Church in Kenya as they usher in a new Presiding Bishop.

Bishop Isaiah Deye, the new Presiding Bishop, was elected in free and open elections held at the Methodist headquarters in Nairobi on Thursday, July 20, 2023.

Bishop Deye, who hails from Kilifi County, is now the 7th Presiding Bishop, taking over from Bishop Ntombura whose term ended on August 4, 2022. 


This comes as great news to all Tom, Dick and Harry in the Methodist Church in Kenya as the long fight to redeem the Methodist Church has finally yielded fruits.

Bishop Deye who was acting as the Presiding Bishop, awaiting elections, has now been officially confirmed and will take office in January 2024.

The entire body of believers in the Methodist Church in Kenya believes in the newly elected Presiding Bishop, Isaiah Deye, to steer and take the Methodist Church to greater heights with guidance from God.

Bishop Isaiah Deye has worked as the Conference Secretary during the tenure of the former presiding bishop.

Other Presiding Bishops that served in the Methodist Church in Kenya were: 

1. Bishop Ronald Mung'ong'o - 1968 to 1970.

2. Rev. Dr. Lawi Imathiu - 1971 to 1980 and 1985 to 1992

3. Rev. Johana Mbogori - 1981 to 1984

4. Rev. Prof. Zablon Nthamburi - 1993 to 2002

5. Bishop Dr. Stephen Kanyaru - 2003 to 2012

6. Bishop Joseph Ntombura - 2013 to 2022

The Bible makes it clear, it is God who appoints our leaders, rulers, and kings (Romans 13:1). It is God who sets kings over us, (Daniel 2:21, 5:18). 

All the best to the new Presiding Bishop, Isaiah Deye.
