A dispute is intensifying between the Kenyan government and a faction of the Christian community over proposed reforms to regulate theological training and professionalize clergy.

• The Church and Clergy Association of Kenya (CCAK) is resisting government plans to standardize Bible school training, citing concerns about freedom of worship and interference with the Church's mandate.
• Technical and Vocational Education and Training Principal Secretary Dr. Esther Muoria stated that existing laws like the TVET Act already provide a framework for regulating theological institutions.
• The government is considering establishing a professional body to guide the training and conduct of religious leaders, potentially through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) to acknowledge experience-based qualifications.
