What you need to know:

  • DCI had on May 8 obtained orders compelling the telco and five banks to supply account transactions of the embattled cleric and his New Life Church. 

A Nairobi court has on Monday summoned Safaricom's legal manager after the firm allegedly declined to give police access to seven M-Pesa lines belonging to embattled Pastor Ezekiel Odero and his church. 

Milimani Magistrate Ben Ekhubi issued the order after the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) informed the court that Safaricom has failed to comply with a previous directive to disclose the financial statements belonging to the pastor and his church.
