Homa Bay Town Member of Parliament Peter Kaluma has recently called for the arrest of Pastor James Ng’ang’a of Neno Evangelism Center Church after a video of him slapping a congregant in church went viral.
According to Kaluma, the controversial pastor should be charged before anything worse happens in his church.
Kaluma urged Neno Evangelism Center congregants who have been assaulted by Pastor Ng’ang’a to report to the nearest police station.

The lawmaker also demanded that the church be deregistered by the Registrar of Societies.
“Ng’ang’a must be arrested, prosecuted, and jailed before worse happens at Neno Evangelism. Whoever knows the guy he is assaulting in this video or any of the many worshippers he has ever assaulted should report to the nearest Police Station or see me immediately for urgent action. The Registrar of Societies should deregister this ‘church’ with immediate effect,” said Kaluma.
In the said video, Pastor Ng’ang’a was recorded approaching a man who had dozed off in church and slapped him.
Nga’nga also added insults at the man before asking him to go and sit at the back of the church.
He then turned his anger to a woman who was sitting next to the man and questioned her why she allowed him to sleep in church.
It is not the first time Ng’ang’a has come under harsh criticism over his outrageous actions.
In February this year, he was slammed for allegedly embarrassing a woman who had sought his help to pay house rent.
Milka Moraa’s landlord had locked her house after she was unable to raise the rent.
Thinking that her pastor would help her, she ran to Ng’ang’a seeking a way forward, only to be met by abuse and embarrassment after the pastor asked her to go for affordable houses if she couldn’t afford her rent.
She later landed an affordable housing unit at the Mukuru Meteorological Social Housing Site after well-wishers stepped in to help her.
