Pastor James Ng'ang'a's Bid to Settle Sh3.6 Million Fraud Case Out of Court Rejected

A Nairobi court has dismissed Pastor James Ng’ang’a’s application to settle a fraud case through an out-of-court agreement.
Ng’ang’a, who is the head of the Neno Evangelism Ministry, is accused of defrauding businessman Wickson Njoroge Mwathi of Sh3.6 million.
Ng’ang’a and Njoroge made a written agreement to resolve the matter through an alternative dispute resolution, but the court rejected the request after the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) said they are unaware of the application.
While dismissing the application, Milimani law courts magistrate David Ndungi said a criminal case cannot be withdrawn without the DPP’s consent.
The clergyman is said to have entered into a deal to lease a 7-bed-roomed apartment in Karen, Nairobi to Njoroge for Sh3.6 million in April 2016.
The agreement was signed at Pastor Ng’ang’a’s Neno Evangelism Center office located in Nairobi CBD. Njoroge wanted his visitors including two Germans, a Chinese and Korean to stay in the house for six months.
“After signing the lease agreement, I left the cash with my advocate to bank with the landlord (Pastor Ng’ang’a) and proceeded to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for a meeting,” the businessman told the court.
He said Ng’ang’a did not honor the agreement and also refused to refund the money, which included a six-month rent of Sh2.7 million and a deposit of Sh900,000.
“After two weeks of trying to get the keys from Ng’ang’a, my guests got tired of staying in a hotel and returned abroad,” Njoroge, a real estate contractor, said.
Ng’ang’a was released on Sh500,000 cash bail after denying charges of obtaining money by false pretense.
The matter will be mentioned on October 14th.

@kimemia - I feel your terrible pain! I have been through that road before! Got conned of money I entrust on a close relative to build me a house!
I was getting sent photos of a house a neighbor was building until I happily went there/home only to discover the scam! My stomach developed Diarrhea with shock! I walked away never to look back! Never ever trust anyone with your hard earned money - relatives, preachers, lawyers, politicians, etc!

Je, wafuasi wa Ndugu Ng’ang’a kweli wanatumia akili waliyopewa na MWUMBAJI MKUU walipozaliwa?
Kazi ya MWUMBAJI MKUU ilimalizika kabisa ulipozaliwa baada ya kupewa zawadi hii inayoitwa akili. Usipoilinda 24/7 - 365-366, utaona cha mtema kuni kwa sababu majambazi, waongo, matapeli, na wengine wengi duniani humu watakumaliza kabisa.
Matapeli hawa wana sura ya binadamu tu, lakini ni mafisi na mbwa mwitu ndani ya akili yao.

HUSTLER'S nation.
Jesus didn't own anything.
Buddha didn't own anything.
Most of the old prophets owned nothing.
Nowadays, religion is the best and easiest business to start, because MENTAL enslavement plays a big role.
We have to understand that we are spiritually bankrupt, but common sense dictates that, common sense, reasoning and decision, and if you have issues between the last two, seek for advice.
Until when we start reading the HOLY BOOKS and not waiting for pastors/Kadhis ETC to interpret the Books, we are DOOMED.

You have said well, but I will challenge your comment on reading the holy books. What makes it holy for Moses to give a command for all the sons (Men) to be killed, all women who have laid with a man to be butchered and all girls who have not laid with a man to be debauched (basically raped)?

Comrade Soldieron,
I have read most of the HOLY WRITINGS, FROM THE QURAN, THE BIBLE, BUDDHISM ,BAHA'IS, ETC ETC... Not disagreeing with you... all of us were taught differently.
I'm searching for the truth... just like Mugo Wa Kibiro foresaw the coming of the white man and folks disagreed with him. MUGO WA KIBIRO was a prophet, but we were taught in believing in foreign deities.'MENTAL ENSLAVEMENT '.
LET'S SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH. TRUTH WILL MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, SET US FREE FROM BEING IGNORANT.

It is agreat shame that all churches have derailed from the path set forth by Jesus Christ.Preachers want to drive big expensive cars,take vacation to Paris with their side chicks from the congregation,own multiple multimillion properties across the globe,and basically enjoy the trappings of wealth .This is not what the good book directs them to do.Worse, the congregants seem to go along with this sinful way of living.
A preacher in Florida was chastised for buying a new cadillac escalade with processes from church. He defended himself by saying that"were Jesus here today,he would be driving this kind of car..."This is sacrilegious...Is there any wonder attendance in churches is dwindling?

Comrade Maxiley,
Jesus rode on a Donkey,
Not a horse or a chariot.
I agree with you, we are so duped to where by everything our pastors say is from God.
This is purely spiritual bankruptcy.
Plus of course, every church member wants to be associated with their pastors, so the bigger, the flashy, the wealthy the pastor is, the better for the congregation.
Purely mental manipulation.

Fake shouts loudest! Ngang guy is faker than fake in matters religion. He is as real as Black entrepreneur. He is the "General".
Out of court settlement should be allowed via "licenced" arbiter and arbitrators.
He must refund the money, pay court costs, pay arbitration fees, compensate for damages, and for usual punitive damages.
PLUS: A clout fee. In church, that means (formula available), crowd size, time in business, tithe, llc investments and church disposables( non fixed assets).

@ Soldieron: Wewe ni Msema kweli Ndugu. Hebu soma tena maneno ya kweli uliyoandika:
"You have said well, but I will challenge your comment on reading the holy books. What makes it holy for Moses to give a command for all the sons (Men) to be killed, all women who have laid with a man to be butchered and all girls who have not laid with a man to be debauched (basically raped)?"
Hebu soma Leviticus 25:44-46
"44 Your male and female slave are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. 45 You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. 46. You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly."
Inaonekana wazi ya kwamba, "mungu" wa Wayahudi ni "mungu" mbaya sana.
Kusema kweli, ukitumia akili yako vizuri au sawasawa, huwezi kuwa mfuasi wa dini ya Marehemu Mwana wa Mariamu au ile nyingine ya Marehemu Mwana wa Amina.
Vitabu vya imani hizi mbili ni vitabu vichafu sana. Ukivisoma vyote kwa makini, bila shaka utavitupa motoni mara moja. Vitabu hivi vya imani ya Waarabu na Wayahudi vinafaa kupigwa marufuku na makanisa na misikiti yote kugeuzwa na kufanywa maktaba.

You are correct but once a person is brainwashed into believing anything of local origin must be inferior, then reason and logic will not prevail. This despite the obvious harm these foreign faiths have done to the African psyche and how they have been used to dispossess us of our land, our languages, our names, physically and mentally enslave us for centuries, rob us off our minerals, and make us dependent on foreigners. China is by no means a Christian country but for better or for worse, the Chinese century is upon us. Their worst days were when they were dominated by Christian countries. Once they threw of that yoke, they thrived.

MAKASISI BANDIA NA PIA MATAPELI:
Tunasoma katika bibilia ya kwamba, Musa alimwomba mungu wa Kiyahudi awape chakula kwa sababu walikuwa wakisikia njaa, hayo yalitendeka.
Ningependa kuona makasisi bandia wa siku hizi wakimwomba mungu wao awape pesa badala ya kuwanyang'anya maskini pesa kidogo walizo nazo.
Kiongozi yeyote wa kanisa anayeomba pesa kutoka kwa wafuasi wake walio wanyonge wa kutumia akili yao ipasavyo, yafaa akumbushwe ya kwamba, Musa hakuwaomba chakula wafuasi wake. Alimwomba mungu wao wa Kiyahudi halafu mikate ikaangula kutoka mbingiuni kama mvua ya mawe. Kutokea leo, kiongozi yeyote wa kanisa ambaye anaomba pesa kutoka kwa wafuasi wake yafaa asipewe kitu chochote kutoka kwa wafuasi wake.
Mwishowe, ningependa kuwaona makasisi hawa bandia hospitalini wakiwaombea wagonjwa ili wapone mara moja na kurudi nyumbani.
Je, Kasisi bandia Ndugu Awuor alikwenda wapi? Sijamsikia kwa muda mrefu. Je, Yeye yungali hai au alikufa kutokana na virusi vya COVID-19?

@ Ndugu,Imara Daima, I think Awuor ran out of steam. Its takes alot of fortitude to full people constantly.You take the risk of getting exposed.
And not to forget that people like us keep questioning their prophesy and exposing some questionable lust for money and women.That put pressure on them to give satisfactory answers.My two cents.
