Communications Authority of Kenya has suspended TV stations owned by Pastor Ezekiel Odero and Pastor Paul Mackenzie.
The World Evangelism TV and Times TV are associated with televangelists Ezekiel and Mackenzie respectively.
The two televangelists are under investigation over their alleged involvement in indoctrinating followers to starve to death in Shakahola, Kilifi County.
The CA director general Ezra Chiloba said they have established that the TV stations violated broadcasting standards requirements and license conditions.
"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)," Chiloba said.
Chiloba said the suspension was after an extensive review of content aired by the two stations between January-April, 2023.
He said the World Evangelism TV was found to have aired inappropriate content on exorcism during the watershed period as well as 12 other violations.
