Communications Authority of Kenya has suspended two TV stations linked to televangelists Ezekiel Odero and Paul Mackenzie with immediate effect.
Communications Authority Director General Ezra Chiloba said the suspension of World Evangelism TV (New Life Communications Ltd) and Times TV (Good News Media Kenya Ltd) follows after extensive review of content aired by the two stations between January – April, 2023.
“The Authority established that the TV stations violated broadcasting standards requirements and license conditions,” said Chiloba.
The World Evangelism TV was found to have aired inappropriate content on exorcism during the watershed period as well as 12 other violations.
Similarly, Times TV aired inappropriate content on exorcism and flouted 17 other broadcasting license conditions.
Further, the Authority directed the broadcast signal distributor, Pan African Network Group (PANG) Limited, to cease carrying the two stations on its platform until further notice.
The two televangelists are under investigations for the Shakaloha tragedy in Kilifi County.
