The suit says Mr Mkare was entrusted by MMC with overseeing the process of the acquisition and construction of the church. He was also authorised to act as an agent in the management and administration of the institution in accordance with its constitution.
The MMC administrator, Coast Province, Mr Njenga Njoroge, said in a sworn statement that Mr Mkare purchased the land on behalf of the MMC in 2000 and made the church and its members believe that he was doing everything in their interest.
