Bundi said he would not be fazed by attempts to remove him as synod head, after the Methodist Church Conference Office, the MCK governing arm, suspended him through a letter dated January 6, 2022.

In the letter seen by The Standard and signed by Administrative Bishop Richard Muguongo, Bundi was accused of being among leaders who want to break away from MCK's authority.

The bishop was also accused of being part of an "extraordinary Methodist members meeting held on August 21, 2022, chaired by former presiding bishop Dr Lawi Imathiu in Kaaga, where you were among the ministers that appended their signatures approving the formation of a Transitional Adhoc Connexional Committee that was to lead an illegal takeover of the Methodist government".
