Pastor James Ng'ang'a, the founder of Neno Evangelism, has made headlines by retracting his support for President William Ruto's government. Ng'ang'a, who had previously endorsed the Kenya Kwanza administration, has now expressed regret over his decision, comparing the current government unfavorably with that of former President Uhuru Kenyatta.
In a recent sermon, Ng'ang'a didn't hold back his feelings. He praised former President Kenyatta, stating that despite criticisms of Kenyatta being a drunkard, he was far better than the current leadership. Ng'ang'a's sharp critique comes in the wake of personal grievances with the current administration, specifically allegations by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) implicating him in illegal land acquisition.
The pastor's frustrations were palpable as he recounted his struggles with the land issues. He claimed that the land in question was legally purchased from the Central Bank of Kenya and criticized current leaders for disputing its ownership. Ng'ang'a accused the government of harassing his church and warned of dire consequences if these actions continued.
"I thank God for Uhuru Kenyatta. You complained he was a drunkard, but he is better 100 times. Take me where you want to take me. When people tried to grab this land, Uhuru made just one call. Today, you leaders claim this is not a church land, and you have been seeing this church. Now you are voting no. Vote against me and come and take it. You have become so powerful that you want to challenge my God. Wait and see; I will cut you into pieces. I will send nuclear. It will split you," Ng'ang'a said in a video shared by Plug TV.
Ng'ang'a's shift in loyalty is significant given his previous support for President Ruto. The pastor had once urged his followers to be patient with Ruto’s administration, but his recent statements suggest a deep disillusionment with the current leadership. His reference to Uhuru Kenyatta's intervention during his tenure highlights a stark contrast in how he perceives the two administrations' handling of his issues.
The controversial preacher’s remarks have sparked various reactions. Supporters of President Ruto may view Ng'ang'a's comments as a betrayal, while critics of the current administration might see it as a validation of their concerns. Regardless, Ng'ang'a’s statements underscore the growing dissatisfaction among some Kenyans with the current government.
Ng'ang'a’s message to the government officials was clear: leave his church’s land alone. He warned them that their actions would serve as a lesson to anyone who might try to frustrate a man of God in the future. The pastor emphasized that he had worked hard to acquire the land and demanded KSh 10 billion from anyone attempting to take it from him.
