The High Court has overturned a lower court's decision that found senior Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church officials in contempt, ruling the dispute is an employment matter exclusively for the Labour Court.

• The High Court found the Thika Chief Magistrate's Court lacked jurisdiction over the case.
• Key figures involved include SDA Church executive president Samwel Makori and church members who filed the suit.
• The dispute centers on allegations that Mr. Makori exceeded the mandatory retirement age of 65.
