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. In 2007 Adoyo caused international controversy through his crusade against education. Although he has no training in science whatsoever, he argues that macro evolution is an unproven theory which should not be taught to children as though it were a fact. The Associated Press reported that he is mobilizing Kenyan Evangelicals to boycott the Nairobi Museum which house the Turkana boy fosils. In a campaign christened "Hide the Bones" Kenyan evangelicals have demanded the removal of Turkana boy from display. He has since held media debates with Kenya's renowned Palaentologist Richard Leakey over the subject.
