CA Suspends World Evangelical TV and Time TV.

The communication authority of Kenya has suspended the World Evangelical TV and Time TV that are associated with two top evangelical pastor Ezekiel Odero and Mackenzie.

In a statement, the CA boss Ezra Chiloba, in a letter dated Nairobi 28th April, 2023 revealed this, effective, immediately.

“The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) has suspended with immediate effect any further broadcasting by the World Evangelism TV (New Life Communications Ltd) and Times TV (Good News Media Kenya Ltd).” Ezra Chiloba said.

According to Chiloba, after a keen observation of the contents aired from January to April, the two TVs violated the broadcasting standards.

“Following an 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.”

“The World Evangelism TV” Chiloba says “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.”

The Communication Authority has further directed the broadcast signal distributor, Pan African Network Group (PANG) Limited, to cease carrying the two stations on its platform until further notice.

The World Evangelism TV and Times TV are associated with televangelists Ezekiel Odero and Paul Mackenzie respectively.

The two televangelists are under investigations for the Shakahola tragedy in Kilifi County.
