Neno Evangelism Center Pastor James Ng’ang’a has expressed profound gratitude towards former president Uhuru Kenyatta.

Ng'ang'a disclosed that he is forever indebted to Uhuru for his decisive intervention during a land dispute involving the pastor’s church.

How did Uhuru help Pst Ng'ang'a?

He recounted the tense moments when the future of the church’s property was uncertain until the former president's swift action de-escalated the situation.

Speaking on Sasa TV, the clergyman described how a single phone call from Uhuru was enough to calm the waters.

He reiterated that he had been a preacher during the regimes of Moi, Kibaki, and Uhuru and that the latter was his favourite.

"Take me where you want to take me. You want to challenge my God, wait and see,” he added.

Did Pst Ng'ang'a grab Railways land?

Ng'ang'a has often fought the government over his prime land at the junction of Haile Selassie Avenue and Uhuru Highway.

This is after the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) listed his parcels among those illegally hived from Kenya Railways' land.

Pastor Ng'ang'a has always maintained that he was the land's rightful owner, accusing the government of attempting to take it from him.

The controversial preacher says he bought the disputed land at KSh 42 million, financed through a loan from Equity Bank.
