Case on the controversial construction of a Ksh1.2 billion church at State House to be heard in the High Court on July 24.

Justice Lawrence Mugambi certified the petition, filed by Advocate Levy Munyeri, and directed it to be physically submitted within three days, with responses due in seven.

Munyeri is seeking an immediate halt to the 8,000-person capacity church project, arguing it violates the Constitution and was launched without public participation or parliamentary approval.

This as religious leaders including the Archbishop of the Anglican Church of Kenya, recently expressed concern over plans to build a new church on government property.

Rev. Jackson Ole Sapit has warned that the move could give President William Ruto excessive influence over church affairs.

Meanwhile, Catholic Archbishop Philip Anyolo of Nairobi has warned that the chapel could prioritize one denomination over others, while Muslim leaders have challenged the president to also build a mosque at State House to demonstrate religious inclusivity.

This comes in the wake of deadly protests in the country, which President William Ruto has addressed in the last hour, saying that he will use whatever means to stop anarchy.

Christian aid agency Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team deploy staff and resources to central Texas, following deadly floods that have now claimed at least 104 lives.

Flooding hit several counties, including Kerr, Burnet, Kendall, Travis, Tom Green, and Williamson, with rising waters overwhelming communities and sweeping through a Christian summer camp where several girls were among the victims.

The Guadalupe River rose dramatically, cresting at over 39 feet, surpassing records set in 1987. In some areas, the river surged 26 feet in just 45 minutes.

Rescue operations are ongoing, with hundreds of personnel, helicopters, boats, and K9 teams involved.

Authorities are urging residents to remain cautious, as rain continues in parts of the Guadalupe River basin.

High court certifies as urgent a constitutional petition filed challenging the ongoing construction of a Kshs. 1.2 billion megachurch within the State House.

Justice Lawrence Mugambi certified the petition filed by Lawyer Levi Munyeri as urgent, after he moved to court to challenge President William Ruto’s decision to build a church in the precincts of State House.

The Attorney General was also given three days to respond to the petition.

Munyeri, through Kimani Kiarie & Associates, argues that the project violates Kenya’s Constitution, particularly the principle of separation of church and state.

Munyeri argues that State House sits on public land and is a symbol of national unity and says constructing a Christian church there without public participation or parliamentary approval violates Articles 8, 10, 27, 32, and 62 of the Constitution.

He also questions the claim that no public funds are being used after the President recently admitted to initiating and funding personally. The matter will be heard on 24th July, this year.

First malaria treatment suitable for babies and very young children has been approved for use and to be rolled out in African countries within weeks.

Drug company Novartis says the new medicine has been approved by the Swiss authorities and is likely to be rolled out in regions and countries with the highest rates of malaria within weeks.

Novartis is planning to introduce it on a largely not-for-profit basis.

The drug, known as Coartem Baby or Riamet Baby in some countries, was developed by Novartis in collaboration with the Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV), a Swiss-based not-for-profit organization initially backed by the British, Swiss, and Dutch Governments, as well as the World Bank and the Rockefeller Foundation.

Eight African nations also took part in the assessment and trials of the drug, and they are expected to be among the first to access it.

Until now, there have been no approved malaria drugs specifically for babies. Instead, they have been treated with versions formulated for older children, which present a risk of overdose.

Malaria was linked to around 597,000 deaths in 2023, with almost all of the deaths were in Africa, and around three-quarters of them were children under the age of five.

Texas-based Camp Mystic, a Christian all-girls' summer camp, confirms that at least 27 girls and staff were among at least 84 victims who died after heavy rain lashed Kerr County, unleashing one of the deadliest floods in the United States in the past 100 years.

The Guadalupe River was swollen by the torrential downpours before daybreak on Friday, the July Fourth public holiday.

The county sheriff's office said some 22 adults and 10 children have yet to be identified.

Ten girls and a camp counsellor are still missing. Richard "Dick" Eastland, the camp director and co-owner, is being remembered as a hero after reportedly rushing to save as many campers as he could before his death.

The 70-year-old and five campers were swept away by rushing waters but were later found alive a few miles down the river.

Eastland died in a helicopter on the way to a Houston hospital.

His grandson, George, confirmed Eastland's passing in a social media post, which has since been taken down, sharing he died trying to save the campers "he so loved and cared for."

The private Christian summer camp was hosting nearly 750 campers when floodwaters suddenly ravaged the campsite in the early morning hours.

The 99-year-old Camp Mystic has a rich history with camp attendees, including political elites such as the daughter of former President Lyndon B. Johnson.

The facility was built in 1926, but Eastland and his wife, Tweety, bought the property in 1974, becoming the third generation of the family to operate the all-girls Christian camp.

Texas Mega church Potter's House founder, Bishop T.D. Jakes officially hands over the leadership of The Potter’s House in Dallas, Texas, to his daughter, Sarah Jakes Roberts, and her husband, Touré Roberts.

The formal installation of the couple as co-senior pastors of one of America’s most influential megachurches took place last Sunday, marking a new chapter for the congregation founded by Jakes nearly three decades ago.

The event, described as a historic shift, was celebrated with a ceremonial handoff that underscored the church’s commitment to evolving its ministry while honoring its legacy.

Potters House said the leadership change was not a sudden decision but the culmination of years of preparation.

Jakes, who suffered a near-fatal heart attack in November 2024 during a sermon, cited health concerns as a key factor in his decision to step down from day-to-day pastoral duties.

A spokesperson for The Potter’s House confirmed that the plan for Sarah Jakes Roberts and Touré Roberts to assume leadership had been in the works for years, with the couple relocating to Dallas in 2022 and serving as assistant pastors since 2023.

The Potter’s House, established in 1996, has grown into a global ministry with a membership of approximately 30,000 and campuses in Dallas, Fort Worth, and Los Angeles.
