The Kenyan government has postponed public participation for the Draft Religious Organisations Policy, 2024 and the Draft Religious Organisations Bill, 2024 following extensive backlash from religious leaders. The clergy opposed the proposed laws, claiming they were an attempt to curtail their operations and violated constitutional freedoms.

• The postponement occurred on Tuesday, December 16, after an initial public notice scheduled forums between December 15 and December 19, 2025.
• Religious leaders, addressing the press on Monday, December 15, called for the withdrawal of the proposed legislation, arguing that President William Ruto's administration came to power with the church's support.
• The bills aimed to establish a regulatory framework for religious organizations, including a Religious Affairs Commission and the Office of the Registrar of Religious Organisations.
