Donations to defeat draft

Three weeks ago, an American-based group told the Sunday Nation that it was working through its office in Nairobi to tell Kenyans that the proposed constitution would allow abortion on demand.

Mr Jordan Sekulow of the American Centre for Law and Justice, said the organisation had donated tens of thousands of dollars to help defeat the draft.

The centre is a non-governmental public interest law firm founded in 1990 by controversial televangelist Pat Robertson, well-known in Kenya for his programmes on the Christian Broadcasting Network.
