The row between the Butere diocese of the Anglican Church of Kenya and Butere Girls’ High School over land ownership has taken a new twist after the county entered the fray. The cathedral is being built by a private developer on a parcel that is part of the school land. The county has now directed the diocese to halt all activities and demolish structures it has erected on the school land. “They have even called the county lands chief and asked him not to respond to the letters by the bishop until they meet this week,” the source said. The county says the land, which formerly belonged to the defunct Butere Teachers Training College, is on a 99-year lease for educational use.
