Bishop Boniface Adoyo is a Kenyan bishop and head of the 10 million member Evangelical Association of Kenya.
Adoyo holds a Master of Divinity degree and also studied economics at the London School of Economics. Today he oversees Christ in the Answer Ministries (CITAM), an influential congregation in Nairobi. He is also Chancellor of Pan African Christian University.
Adoyo has caused international controversy through his crusade against evolution. Although he has no training in science, he argues that macroevolution is an unproven theory which should not be taught to children as fact, despite its empirical observance. The Associated Press reported that Adoyo is mobilizing Kenyan Christians to boycott the Nairobi Museum which house the Turkana boy fossils. In a campaign christened "hide the bones," Kenyan evangelicals have demanded the removal of Turkana boy from display.[1] He has since held media debates with Kenya's renowned palaentologist Richard Leakey over the subject.[1]
