Through his lawyers, Ezekiel told the court that the financial overheads cannot wait for 30 days as ordered.
“Cash flow issues occasioned by the freezing of the Applicant’s accounts is causing a negative impact on the workers and students associated with New Life Prayer Centre and Church and Kilifi International School,” said the pastor.
He informed the court that he supports 2000 needy students whose school fees is drawn from the frozen accounts.
“The closure of my accounts has an astronomical negative impact on the church and school’s operation as the over 2000 student’s daily upkeep will present a logistical nightmare,” he said.
