Pastor Ng’ang’a Appear Before Parliament Committee, Defends Ownership Of His Nairobi Church Land

Apostle James Ng’ang’a has revealed that he purchased the land hosting his Neno Evangelism Centre church for Kes.42 million from the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK).

Appearing before the National Assembly’s Departmental Committee on Lands, Ng’ang’a detailed that he paid over Ksh42 million to acquire the land put up for sale by the government in 2004.

“I started preaching in Mombasa before later coming to Nairobi. In 2004, I saw a ‘land for sale’ sign from CBK, when I went to inquire about it they told me the price was Ksh.32 million, but they told me to pay 10% and the rest within 90 days,” he submitted.

The televangelist stated that shortly thereafter, the land was put up for sale again, compelling him to reapply and ultimately purchase the land for Kes.42 million, with Equity Bank facilitating the acquisition.

“We signed the agreement and Equity helped me pay the amount. I finished paying the loan around 2008 and I was given the title under the name Neno Evangelism Centre,” the preacher said.

EACC recently filed a case to reclaim the land, believing it originally belonged to the Kenya Railways Corporation.
