Pastor James Ng’ang’a of Neno Evangelism Centre has once again ignited controversy with his remarks during a recent sermon.

The outspoken cleric openly dismissed his congregants, stating that they do not belong to his societal class.

In a video circulating online, Ng’ang’a appeared frustrated with his followers, questioning why he even associates with them.

"Hata mimi sijui naongeanga na nyinyi nini. I don't know where I am going with you because you aren't of my class, you are not of my ministry. My work is like that of a rescue team, and by the way, if you do not know, the other day I closed churches here because they were bad omen," he declared.

He further asserted his authority, warning congregants that his church was not a place where they could stage protests, comparing it to government institutions.

"Hapa sio Kenyatta ati mtanifanyia maandamano, hapa si SHA. If you are not going to follow my instructions, I swear before God, I am not going to be your prophet. Na siku utahitaji kuhani usiniite. Na mimi siku nitahitaji mshirika, sitakuita," he stated firmly.

His remarks extended to those who had been locked out of the church, telling them they were free to go wherever they pleased.
