Kisii PAG Church Senior Pastor Lawrence Morara said the move by a section of faithful on Sunday to lock the doors of his office and the church gate is the work of the devil. 

Morara in his defence termed the claims as unfounded.

"Evil forces want to taint my name that I have misused church funds. Any church member with evidence that I have embezzled Sh14 million for the church should move to court to challenge me there instead of using backdoor to kick me out of the church," he said in Kisii town on Monday. 

 The senior pastor confirmed that despite the Sunday's wrangles, operations in the church will not stop. 

"I can assure that church operations will go on and nothing is going to change. My hope is that those who have differences with me will accept for a dialogue to solve the issues. I may quit the church if need be but, operations won't stop," he added. 

The pastor's sentiments come after a group of church members led by elder Bernard Nyamanya accused him of holding on to the church's leadership for long and embezzling funds.
