Neno Evangelism Centre founder pastor James Ng’ang’a has hit out at Kenya Kwanza government over what he termed as ‘exploiting Kenyans’.
Addressing his congregation, the controversial man of the cloth said it was wrong for President William Ruto to overburden Kenyans with taxes when most of them cannot even afford to put food in their mouth.
Without mentioning names, Ng’ang’a claimed that President William Ruto was misleading the nation and imposing inconsiderate tax policies while misusing public funds.
“Sometimes you are misleading this nation, naongea kama mtumishi, uchumi ni mbaya na mnatumia hizo pesa vile mnataka, mnaongezea uchumi huku, mnaongezea pesa,” he stated.
Ng’ang’a said he was ready to pay the price including losing his church for speaking truth to the administration because that was his core responsibility as a servant of God.
“Na mtu akiwaambia mnafunga kanisa, si mje mfunge. Nitaongea na nitasema what is right I will speak that, I swear before God,” the pastor said.
In what appeared that William Ruto will be a one-term president, Ng’ang’a said that leaders ignoring the plight of Kenyans and subjecting them to more pain would lose power courtesy of God’s wrath.
“You found me preaching, and I will say the truth… and God will remove you from those offices. You are adding yourselves money as we suffer,” he added.
His remarks come just days after Anglican Church of Kenya Archbishop Jackson Ole Sapit accused the current administration of overburdening Kenyans with numerous hefty taxes.
“We demand that the government lives within its means and cuts down public operational expenditure. Such measures will undoubtedly encourage domestic and foreign investment,” Sapit said.
